In 1561 the village belonged to his relative Nicolas Pommereuil, who was governor of Rouen. His son Charles got into a dark counterfeit money affair. After 1682 Miserey came into the possession of the La Luzerne family through marriage. In 1746 the seigneur at the time, Paul-Roger de La Luzerne, died without any descendants. At the beginning of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the village belonged to the Count of Sémerville (Eure). In 1793 Miserey received the status of a municipality. In 1801 it received the right to local self-government as a miseray through the administrative reform under Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) . In the following it was called Miserey again.

Although the feudal system ended with the French Revolution, the Castle of Miserey was still owned by the Sémerville family after the revolution. By marriage, the castle fell to the Count of Maupeou and remained in the family until the beginning of the 20th century. Then it was sold three times in quick succession and the interior was lost. In 1947 Robert Gouin de Roumilly bought the castle and had it restored. It is still owned by the family today. The main building dates from the end of the 17th century and was rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century.
