Origin and history

La Faisanderie, located in Compiègne in the Hauts-de-France, is a monument built in the 18th century. This site, whose entrance pavilions and grid have been inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1948, bears witness to the architecture and cynegetic uses of the time. Its exact address, 9001 La Faisanderie, is referenced in the Mérimée database under the code Insee 60159, attached to the department of Oise.

In the 18th century, pheasants were places dedicated to the breeding of pheasants and other game animals, often associated with seigneurial or royal domains. These spaces reflected the taste of the aristocracy for hunting, a major social and symbolic activity. In Compiègne, close to the state forest, Faisanderie fits in this context, although the precise details of its historical use are not explicitly documented in the available sources.

The protected elements of Faisanderie, namely the pavilions and the entrance gate, date from the same period as its construction. Their registration in 1948 underscores their heritage value, although information about potential owners, architects or significant events related to the site is not included in current data. The location of the monument, specified as a "satisfactory a priori" (level 6), allows it to be located in the compiegnois landscape, without additional details of its accessibility or current state being provided.
