A brief history...

 

Inhabited since the Roman Empire, Baronville was originally a lordship established to protect the Voise Valley.

​

During the Hundred Years’ War, Baronville was liberated from English occupation by the troops of St. Joan of Arc.

​

In 1623, the Montescot family built a château de plaisance on the site of the original fortress. Through marriage, it passed into the hands of the Lattaignant family. In 1783, the estate was acquired by the Marquis d’Aligre, President of the Parliament of Paris, whose family played a significant role in the development of the region. The estate has remained in the family ever since.

​

In 1868, his great-grandson, the Marquis de Pomereu d’Aligre, demolished the original château to construct the present one, designed to host grand receptions during the opulent Second Empire.

​

Throughout the 20th century, the château endured the hardships of war and military occupation, until Count and Countess Bertrand de Rougé d’Aligre, descendants of the previous owners, undertook its restoration.

​

Today, the estate is owned by their son and daughter-in-law, Count and Countess Aymeric de Rougé d’Aligre, who are passionately committed to preserving and enhancing this historic property, which has now been in their family for over two and a half centuries.
