Established by the Bellême family in the 11th century, the site of the castle and the chapel are rare and significant remains of the county and then the Duchy of Alençon, emblematic of our region: it received a visit from King St Louis in 1269 and became the main residence of Pierre II d'Alençon who created the walled city of Essay, then Marguerite de Lorraine for her dower, finally possession of Marguerite d'Angoulême-Alençon-Navarre, sister of François I, grandmother of Henri IV, who had created, with her husband Charles IV of Alençon, the royal abbey of Sainte Madeleine d'Essay in activity until the Revolution.
