Located about fifty kilometers north-east of Paris, the unspoilt village of Villers-Saint-Frambourg is revealed to you, nestled on the edge of the forest of Halatte at the foot of Mont Pagnotte (highest point of the Oise to 220 m), when you take the RD 932a.
The toponymic origin of the village dates back to the 13th century, when in 1210, following a dismemberment of the neighboring parish of the village of Ognon, a new parish was created in favor of the chapter of the Saint-Frambourg collegiate of Senlis.
The land of Ognon had the title of barony and entered the fifteenth century in the house of La Fontaine. Artus de La Fontaine became grand master of ceremonies during the reigns of Henry II, Francis I, Charles IX and Henry III. Very careful on the ceremonial, he prescribed an extreme observation of the hierarchy and rank. This is where the proverb "to rank Ognon" appeared.
Two castles succeeded one another. The second was destroyed in the 1960s. It served as a reserve hospital during the First World War with about fifty barracks. The registers of the town hall have become thick with the black ink of the blood of the young people who have died for their country.
