The nave dates from the 13th century, the sacristy from the 18th. Of very simple construction, the church nevertheless contains masterpieces. First, an antependium in painted Cordoba leather, representing Saint Médard; classified as a historical monument, just like the bells. A wooden cabinet from the 13th century containing a necrology. A painted wooden altarpiece from the 12th century, featuring two statues, repainted in 1893, representing St Médard and the Virgin Mary. A churchwardens' bench serving as an altar.

The door opening to the sacristy dates from the 12th or 13th century, attesting to the date of construction of the church. In 1250, a survey of the diocese of Chartres mentions the church. In 1886, the old shingle vault was replaced by a brick and plaster vault. The altarpiece and pulpit are from the 18th century.

Attached to the castle, the 13th-century church was burned down in the 15th century. Rebuilt, it was consecrated in 1539. The lords of Oysonville could pass from the castle to the church through a door opening onto a platform at the back of the church without mixing with the people. The altarpiece, the churchwarden's pew and the pulpit are from the 18th century. In the 19th century, the paneling of the nave was replaced by a plaster vault. Many tombstones are visible.

It was at the request of the parishioners of Orgères that the decision was made to demolish the old church. Typically, this type of partial or total destruction comes from the religious hierarchy. The current church was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. The reconstruction is quite successful, judging by the choice of materials and the proportions of the building. The stained-glass windows created by the master glazier Loire are perfectly integrated into this new ensemble.

The bell tower and nave were erected in 1150 to house the relics of Saint Martin. The choir and side aisles date from 1519. At the beginning of the 17th century, significant ornamental donations were added, as well as two altars in the side aisles dedicated to Saint Sebastian and the Virgin Mary. Major renovations were carried out in the 19th century: the choir vaults were completely rebuilt in 1859. The stained-glass windows date from 1871. A baptistery outside the building was built to the north of the first bay of the nave. The bays above each altar are built in the neo-Gothic style. The original decoration, dating from the 16th to 18th centuries, consisting of geometric elements in red, yellow, and black, has recently been restored. It is a tempera painting on a sand and lime plaster. It adorns the elevations and the vaults of the two lower sides.

The tower of the church of Sainville, as well as the choir and the first three bays of the main nave, are in the Transitional Romanesque style from the end of the 12th century; the rest of the main nave and the side aisles appear to date only from the 15th century. The bell tower contains three bells. The largest, listed as a historic monument, is engraved with a quatrain: "Founded smokes all new I am the Patron of Sainville, I bear the name of St. Peter. In the year 1014. XLIX." (1549) The second, from 1821, bears this inscription: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people." Gospel of Saint Luke, chapter 1, verse 68. The third is located above the other two.

Construction of this neo-Gothic church began in 1892. On December 8, 1895, it was inaugurated and blessed, becoming the parish church in place of the Church of Saint Rémy. However, sculptures and stained-glass windows have been added or renewed to this day. The stained-glass windows in the nave depict the Beatitudes. Seven sculpted groups in the heart of the church symbolize the sacraments.

The Saint-Martin de Viabon church dates back to the 11th century. Its plan includes a nave ending in a semicircular apse. In the 15th century, a four-bay aisle forming gables was erected to the north. The bell tower also dates from this period. Adjacent to the south wall of the choir, it is octagonal in shape and pierced by sixteen overlapping pointed arches. It rests on a quadrangular tower with powerful buttresses. A semicircular arch known as a "wolf's tooth" arch survives between two buttresses in the south wall of the nave. It is surmounted by a small sculpted stone head at the base of the pointed arch window. The apse's framework is ancient. In 1862, the paneling of the main nave was replaced by a plaster-covered latticework with faux stone carvings. The restoration of the choir walls and vault, as well as the hollow brick vault of the side aisle, also dates from the same period. This building underwent numerous interior alterations in the 19th century. The eastern end of the side aisle is occupied by the Chapel of the Virgin, entirely decorated with paintings and gilding in 1887. For the restoration of the framework and roof, particularly the end of the side aisle, the Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) awarded a donation of €17,000 in 2002.
