The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce manoir était le siège de la seigneurie de Courgeout. La chapelle, construite vers 1638, fut consacrée en 1642. A l'origine, l'édifice possédait un clocher sans doute abattu à la Révolution. Il s'agit d'un bel exemple de chapelle privée du 17e siècle, rare dans la région percheronne.

History
This manor was the seat of the seigneurie of Courgeout. The chapel, built around 1638, was consecrated in 1642. Originally, the building had a bell tower no doubt demolished at the Revolution. It is a fine example of a 17th-century private chapel, rare in the Percheron region.
