The treatment was given in 1103 at the Cathedral Chapter by the Bishop of Soissons Manasses. There was a vicar instituted in 1633.

The castle belonged to the lords of Bitry, which were: Philip De la Fontaine, son of Philip and Mary Conty, born January 4, 1572, was lord of Bitry, captain of light horse. He married Anne of Bommercat who, after her husband died February 7, 1627, had a share of his property with her six children and retired to the convent of the Ursulines of Crespy, where she became a nun and died in the odor of holiness, May 28, 1642.

The Lordship of Bitry passed to his eldest son, Henry de la Fontaine, Lord of Bitry, born in 1606, he was Governor of Noyon in 1666.
