Or Castanetum	In the church-tower'shadow Non official site

My village stay at 7 km near Nemours and 80 km south east of Paris. For the first time, between 1100 and 1110 this place was design as "Castanetum" in a latin document. The name of Chatenoy les Saint Mathurins was mention the first time in some legal documents concerning the "dîme" a tax of this périod ; this tax was collected by the Temple knights of Beauvais en Gatinais. Du Guesclin was probably for one périod the owner of the casttle. The 6 Mai 1575, three years after Saint Barthelemy, was signed in Chatenoy a treaty called "Paix de Monsieur" one the numerous signed during this périod. The casttle was owned by : -Du Guesclin -François de Cullant -Picot comte de Dampierre -Famille Nicolaï -Famille Thierry The old casttle as partially destruct during révolution, to day we can see some old parts.
