Louis the Younger donated the area of ​​today's municipality, a hazel forest (coudrier, hence the name Coudray) to the Abbey of Saint-Germer-de-Fly in 1153 to build a dairy there. A century later, the monks built a permanent castle, which was expanded into a fortress at the end of the 14th century, but was soon burned down by the Burgundians and destroyed to the ground. The church was rebuilt in 1502.
