In the confession and enumeration given to the king by Francis Merigot, lord of Sainte Feyre, in 1729, it is said that within the walls of this park is a chapel, sacred, endowed and founded by the predecessors and authors of the said of Saint -Feyre, in honor of Saint Hubert.
Alexandre Philippe François Mérigot, chevalier, marquis of Sainte Feyre, Lord of Clameyrat, seneschal, grand bailli of La Marche married on 6 June 1758 Marie Catherine de Soudeilles. He presided over the general assembly of the three orders of the seneschalsy of the Haute-Marche held at Gueret in 1789.
In 1770 their son Achilles was born, who was the last Marquis of Sainte Feyre of the Mérigot family.
