The Chateau de Blanville was built in 1643. It was remodeled in the eighteenth century under the tenure of Leonard Cluzel, who lived there from 1738. The Brissac family become connected to the estate in the early nineteenth century when Marie Antoinette Françoise du Cluzel (1793-1869) married Charles Marcel Louis de Cossé-Brissac (1800-1881), in 1833 and the couple took up residence.
The French Noble family of Brissac are particularly noteworthy. The title of the Duke of Brissac which was created in 1611 for Charles II de Cossé. Amongst the many distinguished members of this family Louis Hercule Timoléon de Cossé, Duke of Brissac (1734-1792) stands out. He held high status in the courts of Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI, was governor of Paris and commander-in-chief in the constitutional guard of Louis XVI. In 1792 he was arrested on suspicion of upholding royalist ideals and influencing the king to reign with an anti-revolutionary spirit and was killed during the September Massacres at Versailles. Brissac's head was mutilated, stuck on a stake and thrown on the carpet of his mistress, the notorious Countess Dubarry.
