Eglise Saint-Léon

Romanesque nave (10th-12th centuries), apse and transept from the 16th century. Completely restored in the 19th century, the church is still maintained today.

The slenderness of its bell tower and roof, combined with the wood panelling of the canopy and the dressed stone, give it a rural charm.

The 16th-century stained-glass windows were classified as historic monuments in 1908. In addition to bearing witness to the art of 16th-century glassmaking, some of them are the legacy of the de Dinteville family's patronage.
Part of the Dinteville family is buried in the Thennlières church. The hearts of Gaucher de Dinteville and Anne du Plessy lie beneath a black-and-white marble tombstone, inlaid with copper and classified as a historic monument, dated 1531.

Other items of furniture in the Thennelières church are also classified as historic monuments, including a polychromed wooden reliquary bust of a holy bishop dating from the 18th century, and the sculpted recumbent statue of Louise de Coligny, with features so realistic that it may have been made during her lifetime or after a death mask, dated from the late 16th century, in white marble and resting on a black marble plaque.
