Eglise Saint Wandrille, Le Pecq

The Eglise Saint-Wandrille stands on the site of a priory founded in the 11th century and overlooks the historic heart of Le Pecq. The superb view from the terrace is worth a detour!

Located on a terrace on a hillside overlooking the Seine, this cut-stone building follows the conventions of Classical architecture. The use of Toscan order, with its restrained style, helps to highlight the simplicity of its composition. The church has a square bell tower, whose bell, the only survivor of the Revolution, was christened Louise-Marie by Louis XV. A door enabled courtiers who wished to pray here to enter via the gardens of the Château de Saint-Germain.
The church was listed by the Monuments Historiques as a building of regional importance in 1965.
