Dorceau
Église Saint-ÉtienneOrne (61) · commune of Rémalard en Perche
In the 12th century, the church dedicated to St. Stephen at Dorceau depended on the abbey of Saint-Denis at Nogent-le-Rotrou. The west door and a window, now walled up, are Romanesque. The church was largely rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries. In the mid 16th century, Jean des Feugerets (see "Notre-Dame de Clémencé") had the north side-aisle built. The tower dates to the 14th century.
THE WALL PAINTINGS
The wall paintings adorning the pillars of the first two bays date to the 16th century. Discovered in 1986, they have not been restored or identified.
