Origin and history
The Joncherets estate, located in La Mesnière in Orne, is one of the last major estates of the Perche built at the end of the Ancien Régime, during the 4th quarter of the 18th century. It is distinguished by the integral preservation of its original arrangements: stables, commons, water mirrors and pipes, offering a complete testimony of the architecture and spatial organization of this period. Some of the older commons date back to the 16th or 17th century, while the interior decoration of false marble in the dining room dates back to the 19th century, illustrating subsequent stylistic developments.
The castle and its outbuildings, including the cooler and water bodies, were classified as historic monuments by order of 4 July 1995, while the park had already been registered by order of 10 November 1993. This area reflects the importance of seigneurial residences in Le Perche on the eve of the French Revolution, marking the landscape with its architecture and hydraulics, characteristic of the large rural estates of the time.
Located 1.8 km north of the village of La Mesnière and 2.5 km southwest of Bazoches-sur-Hoëne, the estate is part of a territory marked by the agricultural and aristocratic history of Perche. Its exceptional state of conservation makes it a valuable example for the study of rural areas of the late eighteenth century, a pivotal period between the Old Regime and revolutionary upheavals.
