Origin and history

The church of Saint-Eutrope of Orcemont, located in the village of the same name in Île-de-France, was rebuilt in the 1st quarter of the 16th century, making it an architectural testimony of the French Renaissance. Its design and structure date mostly from this period, although later modifications altered some of the original elements, such as the 19th century windows. The brick vault, added around 1910, and the stained glass windows installed in 1893 illustrate the restoration campaigns that marked its history.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 8 June 2001, the church enjoys protection including not only the building itself, but also the ground of its parcel (C 188) and that of the adjacent cemetery (Park C 189). These measures underline its heritage and archaeological importance. The architect Charles Trubert is mentioned as a masterpiece, although his exact role in the various construction or restoration phases is not detailed in the available sources.

Owned by Orcemont, the church is situated in a rural context typical of the Yvelines, where religious buildings served as a centre for community life. Its location, specified as satisfactory a priori (note 6/10), corresponds to the address 13 Rue de l'Église, in a village now integrated into the Versailian agglomeration. The Merimée and Monumentum data confirm its historical anchoring in the territory, between late medieval heritage and modern adaptations.
