Grange de Beauvais

Founded in 1237 on the finage of Venouse, the barn, which depended on the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny, is nestled in a still intact site overlooking the Serein valley and the abbey. This barn was directly exploited until the 14th century by lay brothers, then by farmers until the Revolution. Sold in April 1791 as a national property, the estate retained its agricultural and pastoral vocation until 1995. Created in 1996, the Association Grange de Beauvais is committed to safeguarding and reviving the site. It has undertaken its restoration as part of youth and volunteer projects and offers some occasional activities.
