History


Orgeval's location has been inhabited since the Prehistory, where tools made from flint dating from the Neolithic times were found.

It is said that a water source was used by the Gallo-Romans for its therapeutic virtues. This source was actually rediscovered in 1708 by the abbey's doctor, but its use was stopped in 1850.

Orgeval's first real mention in history came from the building of Abbaye Notre Dame d'Abbecourt in 1180 by Gasce of Poissy, suzerain of Orgeval. This abbey which descended from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Chartres was destroyed at the beginning of the 19th Century.

Nowadays, Orgeval possesses a church with a Romanesque architecture from the 11th century. The church is composed of a spire and an octagonal tower. The church nave dates back to the 16th century.
