History
This castle, the oldest part of which dates from the 15th century, dates back to the 15th century, has been part of the family for almost 450 years. The central stone part was built under Louis XIV and the two octagonal towers were added during the 19th century.
It was on 28 March 1575 that François Lambert, squire and advisor to the king, auditor in his chamber of accounts, bought the land of Cambray from the nobleman of Oinville, lord of the Puiset. To the left is the old castle, which dates back to the 15th century. The central part, stone and cut stone for the corner pillars was built under Louis XIV, that is to say between 1650 and 1700. Both wings were built shortly thereafter. On the right, the chapel, which began construction in 1805, is dedicated to Saint Charles of Borromeo. During the 19th century, the two octagonal towers were added. As for the commons, it was Charles de Cambray who built them in 1901. The French-style park is designed on a sundial. In the centre is one of the sources of the Conie.
