What the French Ministry of Culture records
Maison natale du général de La Fayette (06 09 1757). Le château est partiellement détruit par un incendie en 1701. Vaudoyer le restaure en 1791. En 1793, le château est envahi puis vendu comme bien d'émigré. La tante de La Fayette rachète le château, mais La Fayette n'y revient que rarement après son installation au château de la Grange, près de Paris. Transformations du château après 1920, lors de son rachat par le Comité américain (nouveau donjon en béton ; aménagements intérieurs).
