In 1980, forty years ago, an entire district was destroyed under the blows of mechanical shovels to build the new town hall of Rumilly.

IToday it is so much a part of the urban landscape that we have forgotten that the current Rumilly town hall has not always been the one we know. And that its construction was at least as important an event as that, which has been completed in recent weeks, of the district of the former hospital center.
A long time ago was the stronghold of Beaufort, owned by Lord Peysieu de Salagine. A house that, in 1689, Marguerite-Auguste de Peysieu, was to bequeath to the Oratorian Fathers of Rumilly. Over the years, the house will be barracks (around 1775), then a school for the brothers (in 1830). The buildings that became the town hall were restored around 1870.
