The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1590, le fief d'Harmonville appartenait à Thomas Dunot, personnalité pétrusienne haute en fait d'armes. A sa mort en 1609, il laissa ses terres à ses deux fils, Jacques et Nicolas Dunot qui reconstruisirent le manoir en 1618. La famille Dunot resta propriétaire du château d'Harmonville jusqu'en 1792, date à laquelle il fut vendu au sieur de Jarry, puis par transmission à la famille de Lignerolles, qui apposa ses armes en façade principale. Les Lignerolles eurent une fille qui épousa M. Goujon de Saint-Thomas. Le dernier du nom légua le domaine à son neveu, M. Potier de Courcy, en 1974.

In 1590, the fief of Harmonville belonged to Thomas Dunot, a prominent Pétrusian figure in matters of arms. At his death in 1609, he left his lands to his two sons, Jacques and Nicolas Dunot, who rebuilt the manor in 1618. The Dunot family remained owners of the château d'Harmonville until 1792, the date on which it was sold to the sieur de Jarry, then by transmission to the family of Lignerolles, who displayed their arms on the main façade. The Lignerolles had a daughter who married M. Goujon de Saint-Thomas. The last of the name bequeathed the estate to his nephew, M. Potier de Courcy, in 1974.
