Château de Voisenon

In the early 19th century (1815-1830) the Château de Voisenon, in the Seine-et-Marne, which had kept a very pure Louis XIII character, was rebuilt in the Neo-Greek style it still has today.

The noble Fusée de Voisenon family, whose arms ('azure, three golden spindles in fess') inspired the village coat of arms, included squires, gentlemen-in-ordinary of the King, a camp marshal and a famous 'court abbé' under Louis XV: Claude Henri Fusée de Voisenon, a member of the Académie Française and a close friend of Voltaire. The family held the fief from the 13th century until the Revolution.
