The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Mazangé est connu depuis le 9e siècle comme prévôté de Chartres. La nef remonte au 15e siècle et est couverte par une charpente lambrissée ornée d'une décoration peinte. La nef unique est suivie d'un choeur à chevet plat plus récent, que suit la sacristie. Dans l'angle de la nef et du choeur s'élève le clocher. Celui-ci, daté du 12e siècle, constitue la partie la plus ancienne de l'église, hormis les maçonneries du mur nord qui sont le vestige d'une église archaïque à choeur rectangulaire, dont le mur sud fut complètement détruit pour élargir l'édifice. Directement inspiré de celui de la Trinité de Vendôme, le clocher se compose d'une tour rectangulaire à deux étages, percée d'étroites fenêtres, et d'une haute flèche octogonale en pierre.

Mazangé has been known since the 9th century as a provostry of Chartres. The nave dates from the 15th century and is covered by a panelled roof structure adorned with painted decoration. The single nave is followed by a choir with flat chevet of more recent date, which is followed by the sacristy. In the angle of the nave and choir rises the bell tower. This, dated to the 12th century, constitutes the oldest part of the church, apart from the masonry of the north wall which is the remains of an archaic church with rectangular choir, whose south wall was completely destroyed to enlarge the building. Directly inspired by that of La Trinité de Vendôme, the bell tower is composed of a rectangular tower with two storeys, pierced by narrow windows, and a high octagonal stone spire.
