- 12th century – A hospital and a leper house are recorded in the parish.

- 13th–14th century – The nave of the Saint-Martin church is built.
- 17th century – The church is remodelled.
- 18th century – The commune has five parishes: Grandcourt, Pierrepont, Déville, Écotigny and La Pierre.
- 1823 – Écotigny, Pierrepont and Déville are merged into Grandcourt.
- 1865 – The bell tower is rebuilt at the entrance of the church, in a different style and with different materials.
Wikipedia has no article on the Château de la Vallée itself, so the history of the building is not detailed here. The village, on the other hand, is rich in remains: tools, objects and a cemetery from the Gaulish, Roman and Frankish periods have been found there.
Among local sights, the encyclopaedia mentions the church of Saint-Martin, which contains a working organ, and the Manoir de la Baronnie, north of the village. The commune once had several hamlets, now joined to the main village.
