Culture and history

Historical sites include the Chapelle Sainte-Barbe in Valainville, in the municipality of Moléans. It is fully registered as a historic monument. Because of its well-documented history, linked to the Abbey of Saint-Denis, and its rarity as a chapel from the second half of the 17th century in the region, it is considered worthy of preservation.

The Château de Moléans is partly registered as a historic monument and partly classified as a historic monument. It is arranged around a terrace overlooking the Conie valley. Tours of the grounds are available at the Château de Moléans.

The Église Saint-Pierre in Moléans was redesigned from 1856 onwards by Ernest de Prunelé. Inside, there is a polychrome wooden statue of Sainte Barbe from the 17th century. At the same time, the Église Saint-Pierre is a cultural venue where concerts are held.

Moléans is also considered the birthplace of Ange Pitou, who became a political singer at the end of the 18th century and worked as a writer and bookseller.
