Châtenoy is a historic village in Île-de-France, known for its medieval castle ruins, 12th-century church, and ties to knight Bertrand Du Guesclin. It is located about 40 km from Melun and close to Nemours.

History

Historically, the Château de Châtenoy may have belonged to the famous medieval knight Bertrand Du Guesclin. In 1364, records mention a deal involving Du Guesclin, facilitated by Adam Nicolas of Nemours, which transferred ownership of Châtenoy and Ferrières-en-Gâtinais castles.

The castle's history includes a succession of noble owners: Du Guesclin, François de Cullant, Picot, Count of Dampierre, and later the Nicolaï and Thierry families. However, during the French Revolution, much of the castle was destroyed, leaving only a few remaining parts. The castle once had three underground tunnels leading to nearby areas, but these have since been closed off.

Châtenoy’s church, dating back to the 12th century, is dedicated to Saint Loup (or Saint Leu) and reflects the architectural style of the Gâtinais region. The village’s population declined over the years, from 170 residents in 1822 to 130 in 2008.
