Saint Hilaire Church
Highlight • Other
The current church was built in the 16th century: a date of 1545 is engraved on a cherub in the turret. It is a very high construction but very irregular, this comes from the fact that it belongs to several eras: ogival style in the windows, the entrance door is Romanesque (it may be the door of the first Romanesque church) . The choir was formerly separated from the nave by an iron grille which disappeared during the French Revolution. The ceiling has pretty paneling dating from 1645. The two side altars are dedicated: one to Notre Dame des Victoires and the other to Saint Joseph. Among the furniture we can note an interesting painting which represents Our Lord pronouncing on a coin.
In 1940, two bombs fell less than 30 m from the church, destroying the stained glass windows on the south side which were replaced by grisailles in 1987.
Three pretty stained glass windows light up this church:
Nativity stained glass window installed by Mr Campin in 1955
Stained glass windows of the village's patron saints, Saint Radegonde and Saint Hilaire, installed in 1900 and 1987 respectively.

Notre-Dame Church of Dammarie
Highlight • Religious Site
This building, much altered over the centuries, has suffered greatly from a lack of maintenance.
In 1747, Abbot Pilot, parish priest, mentioned the difficulties he had in having the choir, the sanctuary and the tower repaired by the Cathedral Chapter in charge of these works, the rest of the building being the responsibility of parish.
On the south wall, there are Roman-style freestone frames.
The large door as well as the side door are also. The other openings are in the Gothic style.
In 1840, the apse of the great Nave was destroyed in order to "pass" the road No. 14 from Chartres to Orgères into the interior of the village, rather than bypassing it.
If this church does not have a bell tower, since 1845, Hélène Augustine, a 522 kg bell, installed in the tower, calls parishioners during ceremonies.

Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul
Highlight • Other
A second nave is covered with quadripartite masonry vaults from different periods. Of a dressed stone tower, only the spiral staircase and the first level remain, built between the 11th and 13th centuries. The side aisle was built in the 14th century and enlarged in the 16th.
1660: Supposed collapse of the tower attached to the nave, of which only the first level remains.
1679: Paneling on the nave and probable construction of the small timber-framed spire.
19th century: Supposed construction of the timber-framed chapel.
The church was under the jurisdiction of the chapter of Notre-Dame de Chartres (the chapter's name can be seen on the lock of the small door on the right and is painted on the walls of the capital with stars and the date 1733 L.M.M.P.).
