The church is dedicated to Saint Martin, and the tomb slab engraved for Léonor de Lars, dame de Saint-Sec, was classified as a monument historique in 1904, the oldest protection attached to the building. The rest of the church was inscribed in 2007.
The church stands in Bleury, in the Eure-et-Loir department, within the commune of Auneau-Bleury-Saint-Symphorien. The building is inscribed as a monument historique since 2007, so it is protected as a whole; the visitor sees it from the outside, with the gabled porch and its black metal gate on the left front and the clock tower rising above the roofline.
The oldest protected element is not the building itself: the engraved tomb slab of Léonor de Lars, dame de Saint-Sec, was classified as a monument historique in 1904, more than a century before the church was inscribed in 2007. Look for this carved stone inside.
