At the site of the present castle, was in the fifteenth century manor house with a drawbridge, moats, farmyard and a large park closed walls. From 1540 until 1673, four lords Escoubleau Family will succeed it.

Then the castle and its park passed through several hands before being demolished in 1684 to build instead a large castle classic "Italian" with magnificent French gardens, water features and a large orangery.

Under the right wing of the castle is located a "nymphaeum" dining room decorated with shells and minerals.

Later, the castle owned by Antoine Louis Rusty, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of Louis XV, will frame the signing on May 1, 1756, the reversal of Alliances Treaty (Treaty of Jouy then called Treaty of Versailles) that will unite France to Austria.

Anne Francis of Beuvron Harcourt, son of Rusty was the last lord of Jouy.

In the early nineteenth century, the castle was demolished and replaced by a castle neoclassical Armand Seguin, tanner and armed skins provider during the Revolution and the Consulate. He was responsible for the transformation of the park in the English garden.

Seguin sold the castle in 1834 to the banker James Mallet, husband of Laura Oberkampf. The castle remained in the family for 112 years until 1953 and the park until 1955.

HEC TECOMAH settled there under the auspices of the ICC in Paris.
