Here is a very confusing building in this pretty village on the banks of the Essonne.
At the beginning of the 11th century, the church of Ondreville as well as its mills and their outbuildings belonged to the abbey of Saint-Mesmin de Micy near Orléans, by donation of a rich widow named Régina, donation confirmed in 1022 by King Robert the Pious. The church remained the property of the abbey until the Revolution. The 12th century Romanesque building, with its semicircular apse, was topped at the end of the 12th century by the square bell tower, characteristic of this part of the Loiret region, with its gabled roof, its two gables and its high twinned bays fitted with bells. At the same time, the north aisle was added, on which the semi-circular entrance door opens.
