Église Saint-Cyr et Sainte-Julitte d'Anet, church located in Eure-et-Loir, in France
The église Saint-Cyr et Sainte-Julitte d'Anet is a stone church in Anet with a slate roof and a bell tower that rises above the main structure. Inside, the nave has stone floors, thick walls, and retains wooden furnishings and religious decorations from previous centuries.
Construction began in the 12th century and continued with additions through the 13th, 15th, and 16th centuries, with the main structure completed around 1580. The building survived difficult periods and was designated a protected monument in 1960.
The church is dedicated to Saint Cyr and Saint Juliet, names rooted in early Christian tradition. Inside, visitors notice wooden statues and religious images that reflect centuries of worship and devotion in this community.
The church is located in a quiet part of town and is best reached on foot or by car. It is good to check in advance for visiting hours, as access may be limited at certain times.
Two paintings inside are themselves protected as historical monuments: a portrayal of the Baptism of Christ from the 18th century and a portrait of Saint Remigius painted by Paul Balze after his time in Rome. These works show how artistic treasures have been preserved in this church across centuries.
