Origin and history
Saint-Germain-de-Secqueval Chapel, located in Guerville, Yvelines, is a religious building built between the second half of the 11th century and the 12th century. This monument, classified by decree of 23 July 1981, bears witness to the medieval religious architecture of the Île-de-France region. Its history is marked by transformations, including a restoration in the 19th century which led to the suppression of a span to the west.
Disused today, the chapel belongs to the commune of Guerville. Its location, reported as being at the approximate address of 9006 Rue du Château, reflects its anchoring in the local heritage. Although its current use is not specified (visit, rental, or otherwise), its classification as Historic Monument underscores its cultural and architectural importance.
Available sources, such as Monumentum, indicate that the chapel is a protected part of the heritage, identified in the Merimée database under Insee 78291. Its state of conservation and its exact location, noted as having satisfactory accuracy (level 8 of 10), make it a site of interest for the study of medieval history and architectural evolutions in Île-de-France.
