Heritage classified
This building is part of the National Estate of Rambouillet Castle established by Decree No. 2024-472 of 24 May 2024. The interior parts were classified as historic monuments in full and automatically by this decree.
Origin and history
The former sheepfolds of La Pommeraie are a building located in the commune of Rambouillet, in the department of Yvelines (78), in the Île-de-France region. This monument is an integral part of the National Estate of the Château de Rambouillet, a complex protected by ministerial decree. Their exact location, on the road to the Pommeraie, links them directly to the agricultural and architectural history of this royal and then national territory.
Decree No. 2024-472 of 24 May 2024 classified these sheepfolds as historical monuments, including their interior parts. This legal protection underscores their heritage value, although details of their construction, precise use or architectural development are not explicitly documented in available sources. Their integration into the Rambouillet estate, historically linked to hunting and land management, suggests a role in local pastoral or agricultural activities.
The accuracy of their geographic location is assessed as poor (level 5/10), which may reflect uncertainties about their exact delimitation or changes in their immediate environment. No information is provided on their current accessibility, whether it be visits, rentals or other tourist uses. Their status as a historical monument, however, guarantees their preservation in the wider context of the national domain.
