The Saint-Martin church, located in Châtaincourt, was not always the only place of worship in the commune. A small chapel did indeed exist between Châtaincourt and the hamlet of Boutaincourt at a very ancient date, since Louis VII the Young, King of the Franks from 1137 to 1180, came there on pilgrimage in 1155. The Saint-Jacques chapel, such was its name, and the place of the same name no longer exist today, they were destroyed during the Wars of Religion.

The Church of Saint-Aignan owes its name to the Bishop of Orleans around 400, when a pre-Romanesque church stood on the same site. Over the centuries, it was replaced by various other buildings, particularly those destroyed by fire. Saint-Aignan was the parish of the Counts of Blois and Chartres.

Mentioned in 1159 as a possession of the chapter of Chartres, the oldest parts of the church of Saint-Léger, the nave and western façade, must date back to the 11th century. The nave, 15 m long and 7 m wide, is built from small rubble stones embedded in mortar. Only the corner quoins of the façade and the semicircular arch of the entrance door are made of dressed stone. In 1514, a larger choir (10 m X 10 m) finished by a flat wall, was added to the east. Some of its pointed arched bays have retained their beautiful tracery. The entire choir and nave are covered by a beautiful framework in the shape of an inverted hull. A significant decoration, created in the 18th century, woodwork, stalls, work bench, glory arch, lectern, and communion railing have been fortunately preserved. Traces of medieval wall paintings and a coat of arms were spotted on the walls, as well as ancient graffiti on the exterior. A 12th-century stone baptismal font and a 15th-century stone statue of Saint Léger are listed as Historic Monuments. A slate bell tower, topped with a slate spire, rises above the slightly recessed gable of the western façade. The Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) granted aid of 100,000 francs in 1992 and then 40,000 francs in 1993 for essential work on the framework and roof.
