Origin and history

La Ferme de la Recipe, located in Fresnay-l'Évêque in the department of Eure-et-Loir (28), is a building dating back to the 11th and 15th centuries. This building, typical of medieval rural buildings, has been partially preserved until today, bearing witness to the architectural techniques and lifestyles of these times. Its inscription in the title of Historical Monuments by order of 19 October 1928 underlines its heritage importance, although the precise details of its history and its original uses remain partially documented.

The location of the Ferme de la Recipe, at 12 Rue de la Mairie, is estimated with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10). This type of farm, often linked to the management of agricultural resources or the collection of royalties (where the name "Recipe") played a central role in the medieval local economy. At that time, the Centre-Val de Loire region, which was marked by intense agricultural activity and growing trade, saw these buildings as the focal points for the organisation of land and rural communities.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum Base, indicate that only the main farm building is protected by the 1928 inscription. No additional information is provided on any owners, sponsors or specific historical events related to this monument. The Creative Commons license associated with a photograph of the site (credit: Thony45) suggests a contemporary interest in its preservation and enhancement, although the modalities of opening to the public (visits, rental, accommodation) are not specified in the data consulted.
