Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul d'Eperrais, Medieval church in Eperrais, France
The Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul church in Eperrais is a Gothic structure with a square bell tower and elaborate flamboyant-style windows. Inside, it holds a Renaissance baptismal font and other architectural elements spanning multiple periods.
The church was built during the late medieval period as a Gothic structure and expanded later with Renaissance elements. Its windows were added subsequently by Parisian artists, reflecting artistic traditions across generations.
The stained glass windows display religious scenes alongside depictions of local events, crafted by artisans from Paris. They show how artistic skill and regional storytelling come together within this place of worship.
Visitors can enter the church free of charge year-round and explore the architecture and artwork at their own pace. Comfortable shoes are recommended, and it is worth taking time to appreciate the details of the windows and interior furnishings.
The baptismal font dates to the Renaissance period and is older than many other parts of the building itself. This piece of furniture has survived various architectural changes and remains a notable detail for attentive visitors today.

The Perche region preserves an architectural heritage spanning from the Middle Ages to the classical period. Castles, churches, and abbeys in this Normandy area showcase the evolution of construction techniques and artistic styles from the 11th to the 18th century, influenced by Norman and Ligurian traditions. Medieval fortifications such as the Château de Bellême and Château de Senonches demonstrate the strategic role of this territory between the Duchy of Normandy and the kingdom of France. Religious buildings, including the Church of Saint-Céneri-le-Gérei with its Romanesque murals and the Notre-Dame of Mont Harou with its fortified tower, reflect the importance of monastic and parish life. Lords’ residences like Château de Montimer and Château de Frazé offer insights into residential architecture in Perche. The Perche Museum in Bellême and the Royal Military College Museum in Thiron-Gardais complete this exploration with collections related to regional history and military heritage.
