Today's castle is located not far from an old building that it replaced. It was built on the initiative of Louis Picot, Lord of Santeny, and was located at the time in the village of Amboile (old name of the town). Built from 1578, The estate briefly passed into the hands of Cardinal René de Birague, who however died in 1583, and it was bought by the Marquis de Malespine. In 1598, Louis II. Picot bought the lands of Amboile from the Marquis, which he finally separated in 1619 in favor of Nicolas Le Prévost, advisor to the King at the bailiwick and presidency of Amiens. After the death of Nicolas Le Prévost in 1630, the estate passed to his widow Marie le Mairat and two years later to his son-in-law André Lefèvre d'Ormesson, who married his only daughter Anne Le Prévost on July 10, 1604. The estate then passed to the eldest of their ten children, Olivier Lefèvre d'Ormesson, who received it on the occasion of his marriage to Marie de Fourcy on July 2, 1640. She then appealed to the landscape architect André Le Nôtre around 1660 to reorganize the gardens.

the old railway line of the Bastille station (also called Chemin des Roses in Seine et Marne and Végétale (formerly Tégéval) in Val de Marne) is gradually being developed into a cycle/pedestrian path over the entire route not used by the RER A or the TGV, that is to say roughly from Boissy to the Yèbles terminus (40 km further), via the stations of Mandres, Brie-comte-Robert, Grisy, Coubert, etc... The path is built from the TGV underground in Boissy to the terminus of the line (since 2023 with the connection between Mandres and Servon which did not exist). Overall magnificent, very pleasant and on a clean site (by definition). Only the connection between Servon and Brie is a little chaotic with the crossing of the Francilienne and the N19, not very picturesque. To do!!
