Missery Castle
Missery Castle
The presence of an already ancient castle is attested in 1360, date when arises a dispute between the Lord of Mont Saint-Jean and his vassal of Missery about his fortification. Then it is again questioned in 1460 when the stronghold constitutes the bulk of the endowment of the hospital of Dracy-Saint-Loup. In 1498, Jehan de Maulain is lord of Missery and Montigny-sur-Armançon. At that time the stronghold of Missery is a U-shaped building with four corner towers and drawbridge. On the 10th of July, 1594, "M. de Tavanes and M. de Blaisy, with their troops, had led two pieces in front of the house of the Potost d'Avosnes, which they had beaten a tower, entered into it, had taken the brothers and the mother ... It is held that besides the quarrel of the house of Blaisy, there are still several other gentlemen their neighbors against whom they had risen.It is said that he had surprised the house of Missery belonging to M. de Lux and burned the chasteau de Champrenault ". In 1752, the seized land is awarded to Jean-Claude-Baptiste Suremain de Flammerans, advisor to Parliament. "It has overthrown the old building almost in ruins, but adorned with beautiful paintings, and has kept only the four towers, building another modern tasteful." The castle was completed in 1762. His heirs kept it until 1921.
