Grange aux dimes, in the castle farm: inscription by decree of 31 May 1939
Origin and history
La Grange aux dimes de Tremblay-en-France is a building listed as a Historic Monument since May 31, 1939. It is located on the grounds of the castle farm, on the territory of the commune, in the Seine-Saint-Denis department. This type of barn, often linked to the collection of tithes (ecclesiastical tax in kind), illustrates the economic and religious organization of the countryside before the Revolution.
Its registration reflects its heritage importance, although the available sources do not specify its date of construction or its sponsor. In the Île-de-France region, tithe barns were essential buildings for the storage of crops collected as tithes, usually for the benefit of a seigneury or religious institution. In Tremblay-en-France, as in other rural communes, these structures reflected the social and economic hierarchy, where agriculture dominated local activities.
The presence of this barn in the castle farm suggests a link to a seigneurial or ecclesiastical exploitation, typical of feudal and post-feudal dynamics in France. No additional information is available on its precise use or architectural evolution.
