The castle was built from 1665 for the Marquis André de Guiry according to plans drawn by François Mansart, recovering the foundations of a first building of the sixteenth century destroyed by fire. The architect and the sponsor died in 1666, but the work was however completed by the nephew Jules Hardouin-Mansart. A rare case in history, the estate has remained in the same family for thirteen centuries, that is to say as far back as the first written traces that mention it. After being listed as historical monuments by decree of July 11, 1942 with its park, the castle, the avenue, the main courtyard, the outbuildings, the orchard and various elements of the park are classified by decree of March 14, 1944; then two constituent parcels of the avenue du château are classified by decree of December 10, 2001. Consequently, the park simply remains registered, and the castle with all the rest of the estate is classified

The property listed in the Inventory is private and cannot be visited.

Manor, called priory, rue de l'Eglise / rue du Moulin-Neuf (listed as a historical monument in 1927). The seigniorial manor was built for the Aumont family between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century. While the manor was the property of the writer Henri Béraud, the manor was requisitioned by the German general staff in 1943. Badly damaged by a bombardment in 1944, it has since been extensively restored.
