THE 17th, 18th & 19th CENTURIES
The original Chateau plus the Orangerie and Cour d’ Honour were built between 1630 – 1640 by the family of Phillipe-August Le Hardy. The estate was owned and run by the le Hardy family until around the 1780s when the main Chateau went to ruin, whilst being dismantled and the building materials sold to help the family’s financial troubles.
In 1791 Charles-Guillaume Baudon de Mony bought the estate. The Baudon de Mony family built the current Chateau in 1864 and had a small church built into the west front quarter. At around the same time the front of the Cour d’ Honour (in which our house stands) was converted into a stable block and throughout the 19th century it was a thriving working estate. 

THE 20th & 21st CENTURIES
In the 20th century the estate managed to change with the times converting other buildings in the Cour from Carriage & horse drawn equipment storage to automotive vehicle storage and workshops. All the estate buildings came through both world wars undamaged. The Chateau was occupied first by the Germans and then the Americans in the 2nd world war and there are pictures of exploded tanks on the driveway and in the surrounding fields.
The Chateau and estate belonged to the Baudon de Mony family until it was purchased in 1998 by the current Co-Ownership. The local villagers and Madame Baudon de Mony still visit on the first Sunday of every month for a church service.
It may be possible to view the church during your stay but you will need to arrange this with the estate manager.
