It was in 1901 that Marcel Compaignon de Marchéville bought the château du Moulin from Edmond Chenu de Thuet after the death of its inhabitant, his sister Edwige. That same year, the restoration works began.

After the death of his son, Marcel Compaignon de Marchéville, in 1904, Louis Compaignon de Marchéville continued with the works with an air of modernity and research, assisted by two architects; Charles Genuys, lead architect on historic monuments, and Pierre Chauvallon.

The clock tower had not yet been rebuilt. Based on the depiction of the castle in the large mural in the church of Saint Denis of Lassay-sur-Croisne (built at the same time as the castle), the bell tower was rebuilt during the restoration.
