ÉGLISE ET LAVOIR DE VILBERT
This church has northern and eastern facades that are punctuated by the presence of bays with pointed arches
On the Vilbert side, north of the commune of Bernay-Vilbert, two buildings are worth your attention.
The church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption
This church has northern and eastern facades, which are punctuated by the presence of bays with pointed arches and white and polychrome stained-glass windows. On each of these two facades, you can see the ashlar or millstone buttresses, as the case may be, which relieve the thrust of the vaults, the pointed arches and the framework elements. The small bell tower at the top of the gable roof is remarkable. The church of Vilbert was built in the 15th century and underwent several alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building preserves several objects that have been listed in the inventory of historical monuments, including a processional cross in wood and gilded copper from the 14th century, listed on November 30, 1984.
The Vilbert wash-house
Until 1855, there was, on the site of the presently visible wash house, a drinking trough which was for the livestock of the peasants of the commune and for those who might be passing through, and a fountain which was fed by a spring and which provided drinking water to all the inhabitants of the commune. In 1856, the drinking trough disappeared and a wash-house was built in its place, which was named the Lavoir de Palaiseau. Located in the middle of a field, on the road leading to the church, it is noticeable by its large size and partially covered with a beautiful roof.
