The Saint-André church burned down in the middle of the 19th century. The priest, forced to celebrate mass in a barn, opened a subscription in 1864, the church was rebuilt in 1865, according to the original plan, plus a transept. Bell tower-porch.

Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Church is a Romanesque building that underwent some modifications following the partial destruction of the village during the war of 1870. The oriented nave ends with a semi-circular apse and adjoins, to the north, a side aisle. Access is located in the southwest part of the nave, protected by a long canopy. A sacristy was built outside the work and communicates directly, to the south, with the apse. The aisle opens onto the nave by two large arcades. At the entrance to the choir, stand two columns with primitive capitals intended to receive an arch that was probably never built. The nave and the choir are covered with a paneled vault. Two pointed arch bays light the nave to the south. The windows of the apse and the aisle are semicircular. The west gable also includes a semicircular bay. On this side of the church, the arch of the old portal, now walled up, is still visible. An oculus has been pierced in its upper part. The roof is made of slate, as is the bell tower, erected on the western part of the roof. Inside, the decor is especially remarkable for the wall paintings from the 12th and 13th centuries that were discovered in 1939, behind the altarpiece of the sanctuary, by Father Moriceau, the parish priest. Some of them are illegible, others have been perfectly identified. These are the scenes depicting the Descent from the Cross, the Holy Women at the Tomb, the Baptism of Christ, and the Meal at Herod's. Like those in the church of Lutz-en-Dunois and the chapel of Yron in Cloyes, these wall paintings are characteristic of the artistic creation of the upper Loir Valley in the Romanesque period. For the restoration of the plaster and the renovation of the south facade of the church and the porch, the Sauvegarde de l’Art français granted a subsidy of 35,000 F in 1998.

Porte de Boisville Its ogival portal opens into a thick quadrangular massif where there was a room for operating the portcullis. We can still see the groove in the thickness of the walls. On the left and right two small funnel-shaped spaces allowed the defenders to observe and repel the enemies who appeared on the bridge. The gate was topped by a building serving as a guardhouse which was demolished in 1761. The guarding of these doors and their keys was in the troubled times of the Hundred Years' War the subject of concern for the inhabitants and also a source of quarrels and trials between the city and the abbey. This gate is preceded by a bridge of 5 stone arches, the one adjoining the gate was built in 1774 and replaced a drawbridge which defended the entrance.

Bonneval, nicknamed the little Venice of Beauce

The church of Guillonville, in Eure et Loir, in the Center-Val de Loire, is attached to the parish of Saint Martin en Beauce, of the Deanery of Beauce, in the diocese of Chartres. The church is placed under the protection of Saint Peter.

The first church, dating from the 13th century, was partly demolished and remodeled several times over the centuries. Placed under the name of the Most Holy Trinity, it took its current form at the end of the 15th century, but was most certainly rebuilt in the 19th century. Extensive renovation work was undertaken at the start of the 21st century.

Bonneval is a beautiful town with still-present fortifications. The old town is surrounded by a wall at the foot of which flows the Loir. This city retains many period buildings such as the Saint-Roch Gate and the King's Tower. Among its must-see attractions, the city also includes the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Florentin-et-Saint-Hilaire, many times destroyed and rebuilt during wars.
