Église Saint-Loup

Having been escaped total destruction during the Hundred Years War, major efforts were made to rebuild the church in the aftermath. These were for nought, it was totally destroyed during the French Revolution. The only part that was saved? The bell.

Church of Saint-Loup

The Saint-Loup church, located in Pers-en-Gâtinais, is an excellent example of the regions industrial identity and its reflections in local construction, as its materials and characteristics are emblematic of the architecture of Gâtinais. Founded in the twelfth century, the church was damaged during the Hundred Years War then rebuilt in the 15th century, as a single nave church with no architectural break between the nave and the chancel. The oldest object of the church of Pers escaped destruction during the revolution - the bell that dates from 1581.

Saint Louis Church, La Chapel-Saint-Sépulcre

Founded in 1254, the church of La Chapel Saint Sépulcre is located in the Loiret. It would seem that Saint Louis, who vowed to deliver the Holy Sepulcher in the Holy Lands, is the origin of the name of the church. In the interior there is a beautiful tabernacle (17th-18th century) and a carved group representing a religious scene: Saint Marcoul blessing a kneeling St. Louis (late 16th century).

Church of Saint-Germain

Located in Dollot in the Yonne, the Saint Germain church dates from the 12th century, but was largely rebuilt in the 16th century. The building thus has both traces of a very distant past and elements of construction over the following centuries. The church also has interesting furniture, part of which is listed as a Historic Monument.
