In the archives of the castle in 1387 is referred to as a gift to his King Chevalier Seigneur de Beauchamps. At the beginning of the XVIII century the castle passed into the possession of graphs De BEAUMONT, who were the masters of the castle until 1997. The first Earl De BEAUMONT known in French history as a brilliant diplomat, philosopher, writer, and founder of the French school of counter-espionage «Secret du Roi». Particularly unusual in his mission in Russia: Lady dressed in costume, Earl became a confidant of Queen Elizabeth - for many years remained her favorite maid of honor. During the French Revolution, the medieval castle was demolished and in its place a son of Count De BEAUMONT in 1837 erected a new elegant castle, as we see it today in the Renaissance style. Construction was carried out under the direction of architect Haussmann (the same one that later changed the architectural look of Paris). The last owner, Count Jean De BEAUMONT, as an officer of the squadron "Normandie-Niemen" (part of it was based in Russia) went through the war on the side of the Russian army. In 2001, the Count's widow sold the castle, began to lose its luster, a group of investors. After 5 years, the restoration of the castle acquired the form that has today: the history charm and modern comfort.
