Culture and History

The former lordship of Cocherel included a windmill on the hills, where the inhabitants were required to have their grain milled. The facility disappeared around 300 years ago. Before 1790, Cocherel and Crépoil were separate administrative units and were merged into a single municipality in 1842.

The present-day church of Cocherel is dedicated to Saint-Christophe and Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur and was rebuilt in 1533 and 1777. On either side of the choir are two chapels dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint-Nicolas. In the 19th century, around twenty relics were kept in the church of Cocherel. The Église Saint-Christophe et Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur is closed to visitors due to its condition.
