history

In 1177, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Abbey acquired part of the territory of the village. In 1316 King Philippe V intervened in the conflict between the monks and the inhabitants. In 1520, Francis I bought the hill where he had the Château des Pressoirs du Roy built. From 1592 to 1597, Henry IV went on excursions with the beautiful Gabrielle d'Estrées to the Pressoirs du Roy. In 1679 the royal towboat was built between Paris and Valvins (neighboring village on the banks of the Seine ). From 1790 to 1796 the church property was nationalized and all the properties of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the parish were sold. From 1811 to 1825 the first Valvins bridge was built to replace the ferry. The first teacher came to Samoreau in 1813. In September 1870, a cyclone devastated the region and destroyed the church tower. From 1895 to 1897 the construction of the railroad that crosses Samoreau took place. In 1898 died Stephane Mallarme in Valvins and was buried in the cemetery of Samoreau. In the same year the fire brigade was founded. In 1908 the Fontainebleau –Valvins tram was extended to Vulaines – Samoreau station. In 1908 Maurice Ravel composed Ma Mère l'Oye in the "Grangette", a house near the Mallarmé house that belonged to Cipa Godebski, son of the sculptor Cyprian Godebski and half-brother of Misia Natanson. In 1940 the Valvins bridge was destroyed. On August 23, 1944, US General George S. Patton crossed the Seine on a pontoon and reached Samoreau. In 1956 the city bought the tithe barn and placed it under monument protection. In 1986 the church was restored and its top was restored.

  • The Saint-Pierre church dates from the 12th century. The nave was probably built by the monks of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. In the transept there is a small panel depicting the Holy Family ( Monument historique ). The church bell (the smaller of the two that existed before the tower was destroyed by lightning in 1870) bears the inscription “L'an 1500 fut faicte à Samoisseau en Brie et fut nommée Marie.” (“1500 made in Samoisseau en Brie and Marie. ”) It is one of the oldest bells in the department. The church has been listed in the additional inventory of the Monuments historiques since August 1949.
