Corbreuse

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Essonne

Men have always lived on the land of Corbreuse...

Prehistory : Countless tools cut and polished stone evidence of their presence on its soil since the Paleolithic.

Gallo-Roman period : However, the Gallo-Roman sites are present and show an intense activity, especially in the areas of agriculture and pottery. Both surface prospecting as aerial photography have located the site of Allery the presence of a large Gallo-Roman villa that has been collected or identified Roman tiles, pottery shards, molten metal residues a hypocaust, a statuette of Mercury coins.

Historical period: One can not speak of Corbreuse without mentioning Chapter Notre-Dame de Paris, which history will be linked until 1790. The birth of Corbreuse is attributed to a royal donation of 1116 prescription Louis 6th established the joint request of Chancellor Stephen of Garland and Chapter Notre-Dame de Paris. But it is rather a renaissance since the ordinance mentions the names of Corbreuse and Allery and authorization given to the people to cultivate new lands they cultivated the time of King Philip I. Looting and injustices invoked provide little information on the causes that led to the ruin of the old village.

Things to see and do

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption : Built in the 12th century and enlarged in the 13th century, the church has the same dedication as the cathedral of Paris. Saint Roch who issued Corbreuse plague is revered. The cemetery surrounding the building was abandoned in 1889 and leveled in 1899. Part of it was reserved for the construction of a shed for storing the fire pump and the hearse. The new cemetery was opened in 1889.
