In the 11th century, the monks of the abbey of Sainte-Geneviève built a chapel, a priory and its farm. In 1156 the monastery of Notre-Dame-des-Anges was founded. In the 17th century, the construction of the Versailles castle led to the disappearance of the village of Choisy-aux-Bœufs whose inhabitants settled in Saint-Cyr. It was there that Madame de Maintenon set up her educational home for young girls and where Napoleon created a military school. The Second World War destroyed more than 90% of the town, making it one of the most devastated towns in the country. Largely involved in the fighting, it was awarded the Croix de Guerre with palm in 1995
