Origin and history

The church of Notre-Dame-du-Pasme de Châteauneuf-en-Thymerais, located in the department of Eure-et-Loir, is a former chapel of the castle that became parish church after the destruction of the fortress in 1591. It was a place of regional pilgrimage dedicated to Notre-Dame-du-Pasme, a Marian cult introduced in Thymerais by a local lord of the branch of the Princes of Mantua, originally from Italy. This sanctuary, free from conflicts, preserves a history linked to popular devotion and the protection of religious property during the Revolution.

The current bell tower, rebuilt in 1864 to replace a medieval bell tower on the nave, was damaged during the 1940 bombings before being restored in 1952. It houses two historic bells: Jeanne Françoise (1809) and Caroline (1825). The interior is distinguished by a wood frame painted in the shape of an overturned case and stained glass windows of the Lorin de Chartres workshops (XIXth–XXth centuries), as well as furniture elements saved from the Abbey of Saint Vincent-aux-Bois during the Revolution, now classified as historical monuments.

Outstanding works include a pulpit to preach (1908), statues of saints (1997), and a altarpiece inspired by Antoine Coypel (2017). The church, attached to the parish Blessed François-de-Laval in Thymerais, illustrates the religious and artistic heritage of the diocese of Chartres, between medieval heritage and modern restorations.
