The son also owned a house in Avallon in front of the church of Saint Lazarus, which was known as hôtel des Sires de Domecy.
Claude Longueville, Lord of Santigny, brought Domecy into his family in 1537, when he married Philiberte de Robert.
Baron Robert de Domecy (1867–1946) commissioned the artist Odilon Redon in 1899 to create 17 decorative panels for the dining room.
He also commissioned Redon to do portraits of his wife and their daughter Jeanne,[1] two of which are in the collections of the Musée d'Orsay[2] and the Getty Museum[3] in California.
The influence of the Japanese painting style found on folding screens byōbu is discernible in his choice of colours and the rectangular proportions of most of the up to 2.5 metres high panels.
