The Saint-Denis church in the commune of Mondoubleau is a 16th century building, significantly altered in the 19th century by Abbot Brisacier of Tours. Of the 16th century building, only the nave and the flat apse remain. In the 17th century, a chapel was established to the south, while in the 19th century, the choir and the western facade with its bell tower were added. Inside, the vaults and painted decoration date from the remodeling carried out by the Touraine architect.

Composed of a central nave ending at the apse with a straight wall pierced by an ogival window, and accompanied by side aisles at the end of one of which rises the 58 meter bell tower. The four upper bays are from the 15th century. The church being too small at the end of the 15th century, it was extended by three bays representing approximately 14 m of floor space. The Renaissance facade offers a beautiful sculpted door from the 16th century depicting four scenes from the life of the Holy Virgin, attributed by Abbot Froger to the sculptor Guillaume Le Houx (holly garland, cornucopias and his initials M.G.L.H.).
