In the 13th century, Joan, queen of Navarre, mother of three kings of France and a queen of England, was lady of Maisoncelles. Thus, this stately land was part of the royal châtellenie of Nemours until the end of the 14th century. Then, it falls into the hands of the house of Barville. Finally, it was at the beginning of the 16th century that the Nicot family, who already owned the lands of Aufferville, Gironville and Ichy, became their owners. The Marquis de Rumont occupied it in the 18th century before it belonged to the Lord of Boulay.

Built around the 13th century, in Romanesque style, the Saint Michel church is very small. The windows of its steeple are narrow. Its portal is flanked by columns with capitals carved with human figures.

THE GATINAISE HOUSES
Peasant houses housing laborers and their families generally have two rooms: an entrance-kitchen, a living room lit by a window above the sink, and a collective bedroom. This one is a little bigger and typical of Gâtinais. The high skylight, surrounded by bricks, Ile-de-France style, allows the passage of a bag of grain of 100 kg on the back of a porter.
