History

A priory dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Abbecourt, founded ca. 1225 on land given by Amaury de Meulan. The medieval church was substantially rebuilt in the 1640s before being demolished in the 19th century, and the former priory building incorporated into a neighbouring château.
