Situated in the heart of the Vexin français Regional Natural Park and built in the 18th century, an old chapel to renovate, listed as a historical monument. Reconstructed in the 18th century by Moufle de La Tuilerie, and then modified during the first half of the 19th century, the château d’Hanneucourt then formed a vacation residence consisting of a main house, an orangery, a dovecote, stables, outbuildings, and a private chapel. The latter, now desacralized, is listed as a historical monument. Located away from busy streets, it appears at the turn of an open courtyard, bordered by centennial trees and the dependencies of the château, which are being rehabilitated and transformed. The building, with an area of approximately 70 m², has a rectangular plan and presents a sober architecture. The plastered facades are marked by a semicircular arch on one side and two windows with pointed arches, adorned with stained glass. The building is crowned with a slate and zinc roof with four slopes. On the main facade, a triangular pediment surmounts a four-lobed rose window. A lantern topped with a bell dominates the ridge, subtly reminding of the original purpose of the place. In the immediate vicinity remains the old dovecote of the estate, which contributes to the uniqueness of the ensemble.
The interior of the chapel retains a collected atmosphere, almost intact despite the passage of time and years of abandonment. The black and white checkered floor, the wood paneling all around the choir, the painted decorations, and the stained glass that filters the light create a meditative space. A few statues, paintings, and lecterns still remain in place, like silent guardians watching over the nave. The interior volumes, relatively high for a building of this size, provide an unexpected sense of space. Light enters modestly, highlighting the patinated walls and old paneling according to the hours of the day. The nearby surroundings await rethinking, leaving room for the imagination of a garden inspired by monastic themes or a more contemporary landscaped courtyard.
