The unfinished church built after the other church near the Châtel in the 13th century. From the town website: In the 13th century, the inhabitants of Yèvre-le-Châtel obtained permission from the Bishop of Orléans to build a parish church in the cemetery. However, following the intervention of the monks of Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire, the bishop reversed his decision and work was interrupted. Work resumed after the Hundred Years' War, but the church was never completed. Furthermore, in 1708, the bishop authorized the sale of stones and materials that had fallen onto the ground, resulting in Saint-Lubin being both unfinished and in ruins. The building, with a single nave and two bays, is perfectly homogeneous. The structure, in the shape of a Latin cross, ends with a flat chevet, characteristic of the 13th century. The romantic remains of this church were admired by Victor Hugo in the 19th century.

Château d'Augerville is a historic castle located in the commune of Augerville-la-Rivière, in Loiret, France. It dates back to the 12th century, when it was a hamlet and fort for the d'Augerville family. It changed hands several times during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and hosted important figures such as Catherine de Medici and King Charles IX. In the 17th century, it was sold to the taxes and renovated into a country house by Jean Perrault de Montevrault. It remained a private residence until the 21st century, when it was transformed into a 5-star hotel with a golf course, spa and chocolate factory. It is a historic monument, a national heritage site of France.

The origins of this estate date back to the 13th century with the construction of a fortified castle on the banks of the Essonne. Fallen into ruin, it was bought in the 15th century by Jacques Coeur, great treasurer of King Charles VII who used to acquire the fiefdoms abandoned after the Hundred Years War to regroup them as he pleased. The general appearance of the buildings as we see them today comes from this period. But, falling into ruins at several times in history, the castle has lived, evolved and metamorphosed many times. It has remained a prestigious place and now houses a luxury hotel.
