history
Étoges (older forms of the name Estoges , Etauges , lat. E (s) togis ), today a village with less than 300 inhabitants, was owned by Eustaches III in the 14th century. de Conflans, Vogt of the Premonstratensian Abbey of Thérouane , Hereditary Marshal of Champagne and Conseiller du Roi (1323). When he died without heirs, Étoges came together with the Bailiwick in 1339 through the marriage of his sister Maguerite de Conflans to Ogre III. d'Anglure in the possession of the Counts of Anglure . The rule ( seigneurie ) or vice-county ( vicomté ) of Estoges since the 15th century was raised to a county in 1682 in favor of Marc-Antoine-Saladin d'Anglure du Bellai de Savigny († 1688).
The construction of the castle also dates from the beginning of the 17th century , in which the newly exalted count had a highly complex pictorial program executed by the painter Jean Hélart from Reims in a passage to the castle chapel from 1685 to 1688 based on designs by a neighboring Mr von Flavigny. The genealogies of their own families and related noble families with their coats of arms were depicted on the walls, along with 71 portraits of well-known people from French history, from Clovis I to Louis XIV (later supplemented by a portrait of Louis XV ) Virtues and character traits with people from other countries and epochs, including antiquity and biblical history, grouped together and characterized by attached emblems and mottos .
After the house of Anglure fell out, Étoges was sold at the beginning of the 18th century to the Duke of Boufflers, who kept it in his possession until at least 1730. In the 18th century, the owners changed in mostly short succession. In 1803 it was bought by the Comte François Scholastique de Guéhéneuc, through whom it came to his daughter Louise-Antoinette, who was married to Marshal Jean Lannes , and their sons and descendants.
In February 1814, the area near Étoges and Vauchamps, on the retreat of the Silesian army Blücher to the Marne, was the scene of their loss-making breakthrough against the troops of Napoleon , who had Marshal Marmont hold the strategically important defensive position near Étoges .
