Church of ancient foundation, mentioned around 969. The church, rectangular in plan, is composed of a main nave of four bays extended by a chancel with a flat apse of two bays; the nave is covered by hull paneling; the choir is ribbed vaulted (16th century); the main vessel is flanked to the northwest by a three-story square bell tower. In the 16th century, the main vessel was increased by an aisle of three bays following the bell tower, with ribbed vaults. The joining pillar between the choir and the first aisle bay is decorated with a small commemorative mural of the priest Lemaçon who embellished the church (1612).

This 13th, 15th and 16th century church does not have a transept. It has a central shingled nave with aisles. The choir ends with a polygonal apse. The apse is decorated with glass roofs dating from 1541 representing various scenes from the Passion. These 16th century stained glass windows (bays 1 to 4) have been partially classified as historic monuments since 1908. Bays 1 and 2 were restored in the 17th century thanks to the Bourbon-Conti family, lords of Bazoche-Gouet from 1676 in 1719, the 4 in the 19th century, then in 1974, by Michel Petit, master glassmaker whose workshop is located in Thivars in Eure-et-Loir. Outside the choir, the stained glass windows are from the 19th century, made by two renowned master glassmakers, the Lorin workshops in Chartres and the Carmel stained glass factory in Le Mans, the first in a neo-Romanesque style, the second approaching the neo-Romanesque style. Gothic.

The castle of Montmirail is a striking example of the castles of the region. The good news is that you can stay there if you wish, as the castle is now open to the public as a hotel. Make it a weekend run or just appreciate its beauty as you pass by.
