The northern part was built before 1536 by Georges Dauzières for Arnaud de Grossolles. Alterations were made to the windows and interior decoration in the 18th century. The castle was partially destroyed by fire in 1943. The castle is privately owned. It has been listed since 1965 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
