Bois-Sainte-Marie experienced a commercial boom from the 11th century. It once had a wall and became a royal castellany at the end of the 12th century. Its Romanesque church dates from the 11th century. The building occupied today by a retirement home was an asylum and orphanage which in the 19th century accommodated 60 old people and 100 orphans.
