Morigny-Champigny Etampes (Essonne) Former Castle of Villemartin Entrance to the fortified farm of Villemartin Etching N ° 2 (250x220) mm In Champigny, hamlet of Morigny now Morigny-Champigny, you can find a magnificent fortified farm: the old castle of Villemartin. This building of character from 1472 is a rare example of a country house prior to the wars of religion. The lands and seigneuries were in particular the possession of Charles le Croux (attorney in the Chamber of Accounts) then Jean le Verrier (first surgeon and ordinary valet de chambre to the king). The manor house will inherit an enclosure with magnificent corbelled turrets dating from the 15th century. Today, a luxury hotel industry has taken place there.
