Origin and history

The church of Saint-Lubin d'Escrennes, located in the Loiret, is a historical monument built between the 11th and 13th centuries. It is characterized by two-nave architecture and a flat bedside, with 13th century capitals. Its bell tower and absidiole, partially redesigned, date from the primitive novel, while its base dates back to the 11th century. Originally, this church was a Romanesque chapel dependent on a nearby castle, adjoining a square tower.

The building was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 6 March 1928. Among its remarkable elements are the 13th century capitals, as well as remains of the 11th century as the base of the bell tower. Absidiole, although modified outside, retains traces of its original novel style. The church, owned by the municipality of Escrennes, illustrates the architectural evolution between the Romanesque and Gothic periods in the region.

Available sources, including Monumentum, highlight its local heritage importance. Its location, at 4 Place de l'Eglise, and its Insee code (45137) link it administratively to the Loiret department and the Centre-Val de Loire region. The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory, facilitating its identification in the historical regional landscape.
