A preserved mill wheel in the town centre, a church surrounded by a cemetery wall and a château built of pink bricks give Croisy-Sur-Eure a distinctive cultural and historical character. There is also the walk “Balade à Croisy sur Eure”, rated easy. When choosing where to stay, consider a straightforward question: should your visit focus mainly on the buildings and their different periods of construction, or would you also like to include a designated walking route in your day’s plans? Each attraction offers a different perspective.

Church and château: different architectural histories

The Church of Saint-Germain and the cemetery wall surrounding it are listed in the inventory of historic monuments. A description by the Fondation du patrimoine, updated in June 2026, lists the church as open and mentions guided visits offered by the mayor and deputy mayor. If you would like to plan such a visit, ask about an appointment in advance.

The Château de Croisy offers a different architectural accent: built at the end of the 17th century, it is constructed entirely of pink bricks. This includes the moulded cornices, corner quoins and surrounds. The exceptions are the keystones above the window openings and the small pediment bearing the coat of arms. The bricks therefore shape not only the building’s large surfaces but also several prominent architectural features.

Mills, a washhouse and construction in Haut Croisy

The two mills differ in one clearly identifiable feature: the Moulin du Bras Sagout stands on the Bras Sagout in the town centre, and its mill wheel and weir have been preserved. The Moulin du Béchet dates from the late 17th century, but no longer has a mill wheel. Their histories are reflected in different details: one has a preserved wheel and weir, while for the other, the absence of a mill wheel is itself part of its architectural story.

The covered Lavoir du Bras Sagout, a washhouse, has platforms that can be adjusted to the water level. The structure is in poor condition. When planning your visit, take this condition into account alongside the platforms’ unusual design.

The hamlet of Haut Croisy also has its own architectural feature: its houses and the surrounding walls are characterised by a building technique using Grouettes. This feature applies to both the houses and their associated walls. Together with the château and the different mills, this offers a wide range of building styles, though the sites do not all tell the same story.

Make time for a walk

The route description, most recently updated on 17 August 2026, lists the “Balade à Croisy sur Eure” as an easy 6 km route with 87 metres of elevation gain. The estimated duration is 1 hour and 55 minutes; the starting point is on Route de Ménilles. This time estimate gives you a concrete starting point for planning your day. Check the trail conditions before setting out, then decide whether the walk should be the day’s main activity or whether you would prefer to leave more time for the buildings. If you would like a guided visit to Saint-Germain to be part of your visit, arrange an appointment in advance as well.
