Origin and history

Les Caves is a building located in Samois-sur-Seine, in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region. This building, now known as the old chapel, is distinguished by its inscription as historical monuments since 1949. It is located at 25 Auguste-Joly Street, near the city centre, and remains a private property.

The inscription of the Caves as a historical monument was formalized by an order dated 14 September 1949. This legal status protects the building because of its heritage interest, although specific architectural or historical details of its construction or past use are not explicitly documented in available sources. The building is referenced in the Mérimée base, which lists the French architectural heritage.

Samois-sur-Seine, where this monument is located, is a town in Seine-et-Marne marked by a varied heritage, including churches and historic buildings. The Caves are part of this cultural landscape, although its specific history and possible transformations over the centuries remain little detailed in the accessible archives. Its current status as private property also limits the information available on its contemporary use or its possible openness to the public.
