History
During the Middle Ages, the area was known as La Ferté-Nabert and held as a lordship () beginning with Jean de Mornay, brother of the bishop and chancellor Pierre de Mornay. It was acquired in the 16th century by the house of Saint Nectaire (corrupted to Senneterre), and erected into a duchy in the peerage of France () in 1665 for Henri de La Ferté-Senneterre, marshal of France. It was called La Ferté Lowendal after it had been acquired by Woldemar de Lowendal in 1748. In February 1939, the Chateau de la Ferté-Saint-Aubin was used for exterior shots in the celebrated Jean Renoir movie The Rules of the Game ().
