Discover La Haute-Maison

Anyone considering La Haute-Maison as a destination for a stay will find two distinctive themes: historic buildings and horse-related activities. Château history, the Church of Notre-Dame de la Nativité and the Ferme du Mans give the place a cultural character; riding lessons and equine-assisted mediation add a range of horse-related activities.

Château History and the Church

The former château of La Haute-Maison was rebuilt in the 18th century. It housed a prison and the courtroom of the judicial authorities; La Haute-Maison was their seat. The château’s history is therefore closely connected with the former functions of the judicial authorities.

The Church of Notre-Dame de la Nativité was destroyed in the 16th century and rebuilt immediately afterwards. A small place of worship, it is distinguished by its modest dimensions, which lend it a particular authenticity and delicacy. The château centres on the court and prison, while the church’s story is one of destruction and immediate reconstruction. The two buildings thus offer visitors interested in the town’s cultural heritage different points of historical interest.

The Ferme du Mans and Its Roof Structure

The Ferme du Mans is the oldest farm in La Haute-Maison and dates back to the 17th century. One of its barns has a complex roof structure with a double ridge, designed for a thatched roof. The double ridge is the defining feature of the roof’s design; the barn illustrates the building methods of the period in which it was built. Architecture enthusiasts will find here both the farm’s historical context and a specific construction detail.

The history of the farm is part of the town’s agricultural development: La Haute-Maison grew around agriculture, which is still practised there today. The Ferme du Mans thus brings together a historic farm and an aspect of local life that remains important to this day.

Riding Lessons and Equine-Assisted Mediation

The Domaine Equestre de Haute Maison offers riding lessons for young people aged twelve and over, as well as adults. Lessons are open to both beginners and experienced riders and take place on double ponies and horses. The different experience levels give those interested in riding a practical point of reference when considering La Haute-Maison as a destination for their stay.

The Domaine also offers equine-assisted mediation as part of care and educational projects. This activity has a different focus from riding lessons: it is incorporated into care and education projects. If you are interested in horse-related activities, you can therefore consider these two areas separately—as lessons for different experience levels and as mediation in the context of projects.

Agriculture and a Named Route

Agricultural development is part of La Haute-Maison’s history and present-day character. Another specific point of interest is the route “Les trois heures trente du Mans,” which connects Sancy-les-Meaux with La Haute-Maison. If you include this connection in your plans, check the signposting and maintenance locally.
