Origin and history
Chateaupers Farm, built in the 14th and 16th centuries in Roinville, is an architectural testimony of the medieval and reborn Île-de-France. As early as 1390, it served as a refuge for local families during the wars ravaging the region, illustrating its strategic and social importance. Its history is also linked to seigneurial alliances, as evidenced by its dowry contribution in the 16th century.
In the 16th century, the farm was transmitted by marriage to the family of the Marais lord, via the daughter of the Chalelains of Villeconin. This legacy is immortalized by a tapestry held at the Cluny Museum and a pencil portrait at the National Library, where it is referred to as "Lady of Chateaupers". These works underline his status and prestige at the time.
Today, Chateaupers' farm remains part of the Marais estate, preserving its historical heritage. Its facades and roofs, partially protected since 1977 and 2010, reflect its architectural evolution. Despite an approximate GPS location (note 5/10), it remains a heritage landmark of Roinville, Essonne.
Protected elements include facades, roofs, and land right-of-way, listed as Historic Monuments. Although the practical information (visits, services) is not detailed, its status as a listed monument makes it a site of interest for the rural and lordial history of francilian.
