The Lordship of Baronville (and Bainville County) is acquired in 1783 by the Marquis Etienne Francois of Aligre, the first president of the Paris parliament. In 1868, his great-grand-son of the Marquis of Aligre Pomereu shaved the castle in 1623 and built the present to receive the elite of the Second Empire by the architect Leon Sanges. The same craftsmen, highly qualified, then made the covers and ridges Castle Baronville, Notre Dame de Paris, the Mont Saint-Michel, but also of the Statue of Liberty in New York. During the twentieth century, the field of Baronville hosts wounded soldiers between 1914 and 1918, thanks to the generosity of Catherine de Clermont-Tonnerre, Viscountess Pomereu Aligre.
