Origin and history
Sainte-Geneviève de Feucherolles Church is a parish Catholic church located in the Yvelines in Île-de-France. It was built in 1155, although much of it was rebuilt in the 13th century and then at the beginning of the Revolution. Its architecture is marked by a six-paned stone bell tower, typical of medieval times, as well as water-leaf capitals adorning the nave and the collaterals. The building houses remarkable furniture, including 13th century baptismal fonts, a 14th century Virgin with Child and a 16th century tabernacle.
The church was classified as a historic monument by decree of 12 July 1886, recognizing its heritage value. It is now owned by the municipality of Feucherolles and remains an active place of worship. Its bell tower, perhaps dating from the twelfth century, dominates the local landscape and bears witness to the religious and architectural history of the region.
The exact location of the church is 3 Rue de l'Etang, in Feucherolles, Yvelines department. It is referenced in the Mérimée database under the code Insee 78233, attached to the arrondissement of Versailles. Its state of conservation and its openness to the public are not specified in available sources.
