Saint Anne Church

The choir of the church forms a setback from the nave. The western part, very small, dates from the 11th century while the eastern part, destroyed during the Hundred Years' War, was rebuilt in the 16th century. The sacristy was built some time later, on the north side.

Villa Landru
Highlight • Historical Site
The choice of the Gambais villa was motivated by its isolation, as it was 300 m from the nearest house (this is obviously no longer the case now), and by its outbuildings and the basement. Here were found supposedly human remains in a heap of ashes discovered in a shed, in the fireplace, and in the stove; one will also find clasps, pins, pieces of corset, partly burnt buttons. In all, the police found 4.176 kg of charred bone debris, including 1.5 kg undoubtedly coming from human bodies, as well as 47 teeth or tooth fragments. The medical examiner will announce to the press that these bones correspond to three heads, five feet and six hands.
Having become a famous place on the occasion of the resounding trial, Villa Tric de Gambais was looted by the crowd, then sold to a restorer who renamed it "Au Grillon du Foyer" and converted part of the building into a museum. It even seems that the "Landru" rib steak was served there, grilled over a wood fire... The restaurant closed its doors in 1940 and the house was then sold to private individuals. The famous villa also gave rise to a series of postcards. Somewhat forgotten after several decades, the house came back into the news in 2018 when it was put up for sale with an announcement very discreetly stating "very beautiful house steeped in history"...
The cook of the villa after a succession of transactions ended up being bought by Laurent Ruquier. Passionate about the character, he wrote a play on the subject, in 2005, with Régis Laspalès in the main role.
No sign, no sign comes to announce the history of this house which undoubtedly wishes to fall back into oblivion.

Neuville Castle
Highlight • Other
The Château de Neuville, located in the heart of a forest park in Gambais, was built in the 16th century by Joachim de Bellengreville, Grand Provost of the Hôtel du Roy in charge of security and the Court police under Henri IV. Its design is attributed to Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, a famous architect to whom we owe the Louvre gallery, the Pont Neuf and the Hôtel Carnavalet in Paris. The Henri III style building has undergone many transformations over time. During the 2nd World War it was occupied by the German and then American armies, and gradually abandoned.
Since the 1960s and 1970s, the family that owns the place, a descendant of the Marquis de Labriffe who acquired the château in 1795, has embarked on a long and costly restoration program which is still continuing today. To finance this work, the estate is regularly rented for film and television shoots, which is why its silhouette may seem familiar to you. Among the films shot in these places: La vie de château (JP Rappeneau), Peau d'âne (Jacques Demy), Dangerous liaisons (Stephen Frears), Cyrano de Bergerac (JP Rappeneau), Ridicule (Patrice Leconte), but also two seasons of the TV show "The Best Pastry Chef".
