History
The village is quoted as of 841, but the designation of Saint Martin's day appears only in 1277 ( Bucianum Sancti Martin ).With the Middle Ages, Bussy-Saint-Martin and Bussy-Saint-Georges form only one and even seigniory directed by the lords of Bucy. The separation of the two villages will take place at the end of the 12th century, time to which the church of Bussy-Saint-Martin was built. Its situation and its important size for if small village can surprise. It is supposed that this sanctuary was used as place of Pèlerinage to venerate Relique S or a stage on the way of many pilgrims of then. Indeed, a door of the church dating from the XIIIe is decorated of 17 horseshoes.
With the wave of dechristianization of 1793, Bussy-Saint-Martin becomes Bussy-the-Mountain.
The castle of Rentilly (hamlet of Holy Bussy Martin) is built at the beginning of the 16th century by Jean Bourdereul, lawyer at the Parliament. In 1890, the castle is sold with Gaston Menier. During the Second world war, the castle requisitioned by the State, is used as barracks with a mobile group of reserve (ancestor of the C.R.S.). At a few hours of the release some of them will take the maquis. The castle will be set fire to by reprisals the August 21st 1944 and will be rebuilt between 1954 and 1957 by Jacques Menier his owner.
During the year 1993, archeologists update the vestiges of a Neolithic village (traces of old hearths, foundations of huts). This village was estimated at forty fires. It is on this place that the hamlet of Rentilly developed.
