La prévôté de Favières, dépendance de l'abbaye Saint-Médard de Soissons. Un exemple de programme domestique d'établissement rural monastiquePERSEE, 1999The abbey of Saint-Médard de Soissons, which was especially well-endowed with lands from the twelfth Century onward, owned in the Soissonnais, Tardenois and Valois various establishments having the status of granges, priories or provostries. Favières was in the last category. Unlike granges, provostries had a chapel and a dwelling for the provost, who was a monk appointed to dispense temporal justice on the lands of Saint-Médard within his purview. The plan ofthe provostry of Favières recalls that of a priory : chapel and residential buildings surround a small square court. Judging from its décoration, which is of fine quality, the chapel fïts well with Soissonnais gothic buildings of the 1230s. Attached to it is a wing that takes a right angle and which masks the West façade. This wing is unusual for its portico which gives the ground floor the structure of a hall. The upper storey, pierced with decorated gemel Windows, has a room and a bed chamber with chimney which are related to the seigneurial apartments of contemporary manors. The décoration allows the construction of this building to be situated in the thirteenth Century, and not after the wartime déprédations suffered during the 1360s, as has been proposed. The confrontation with the other provostries of Saint-Médard points up an architectural variety in which références are always stronger to seigneurial than to monastic architecture. Favières is exceptionnal for its lack of fortification. The wing that forms the dwelling of the provost is unusual for its quality, given the modest size of the establishment, but its program is common to many « houses » of contemporary seigneurial domains, both ecclesiastic and lay, which remain, for the most part, to be studied.
