 "The Saint-Pierre de Maintenon church is of Baroque style (which is rare for the region) and was built on the orders of Françoise d'Aubigné, Madame de Maintenon Jean Cottereau, creditor of the former lords of Maintenon, would be the builder, because one finds this epitaph: Under four roys by estimated service, chastel fist, this church founded in his old days where rest was given.We thus date the construction of the church in the XVIIth century (1692 for the request , 1694 for construction).
The facade is sandstone, probably from Epernon. The interior is a paneling covered with a plaster. Indeed, in the seventeenth century, the wooden paneling was poor, it is in any case what was considered in a surprising way. That's why we covered thin plasterboard, certainly on order of Madame de Maintenon. The places have been recently restored (2012). In 1899 took place a complete renovation of the bell tower. During the 39-45 war, the church suffered severe damage to the stained glass and vault. "

 " L'église Saint-Pierre de Maintenon est de style baroque (ce qui est rare pour la région) et a été bâtie sur l'ordre de Françoise d'Aubigné, Madame de Maintenon. Jean Cottereau, créancier des anciens seigneurs de Maintenon, serait le constructeur, car on trouve cet épitaphe : Sous quatre roys par service estimé, le chastel fist, cette église fonda en ses vieux jours où repos se donna. On date donc la construction de l'église au XVIIème siècle (1692 pour la demande, 1694 pour la construction).
La façade est en grès, probablement en provenance d'Epernon. L'intérieur est un lambris recouvert d'un plâtras. En effet, au XVIIème siècle, les lambris en bois faisaient pauvre, c'est en tout cas ce qui était considéré de manière étonnante. C'est pourquoi on a recouvert de fines plaques de plâtre, certainement sur ordre de Madame de Maintenon. Les lieux ont été récemment restaurés (2012). En 1899 a eu lieu une entière rénovation du clocher. Durant la guerre 39-45, l'église a subi de graves dommages aux vitraux et à la voûte."
