The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La terre seigneuriale d'Audrieu était détenue par la famille de Percy. En 1595, le mariage de Marguerite de Percy avec Guillaume, comte de Séran, fit rentrer Audrieu dans la famille de Séran. Elle fut érigée en baronnie par lettres patentes du mois d'avril 1615 à son profit. Son fils Pierre Léonor lui succéda, puis la descendance Pierre Edmond et le général de Séran. Le domaine vint par mariage à la famille Saillard du Boisberthe, puis par transmission aux Livry-level, les actuels propriétaires. Le château a été transformé en relais-château depuis 1976.

The seigniorial estate of Audrieu was held by the family of Percy. In 1595, the marriage of Marguerite de Percy to Guillaume, count of Séran, brought Audrieu into the family of Séran. It was erected into a barony by letters patent of April 1615 to their benefit. Her son Pierre Léonor succeeded her, then the descendants Pierre Edmond and General de Séran. The estate came by marriage to the family Saillard du Boisberthe, then by transmission to the Livry-level, the current owners. The castle has been converted into a relais-château since 1976.
