In the 12th century, Benedictines drained the region's swamps and built a monastery. In 1304 the monastery became the property of the Benedictines of Notre-Dames-de-Champs, and in 1356 it fell to Perrin du Chemin. Since the rule was on the road from Paris to Fontainebleau, French kings were frequent guests and so a small royal residence was built. In 1630, the landlord and famous cryptologist of the king, Antoine Rossignol , bought the castle, expanded it and had Louis XIII several times . to guest. In 1647, at the request of Louis XIV, a park was created with a view of the Seine. In 1717 the property fell to Louis de Brancas.
