The original castle was a castle on mound around which the village developed.
The lordship belonged to the Albret in 1390. He left in ruins of the Hundred Years War. The medieval remains are found on a rocky escarpment, recut and masonry in places forming a first chamber about 80 meters in diameter.
The manor was given to Arnaud de Caumont, Lord of Lauzun, in 1460. This gave the noble house of Roquepiquet in 1470 Mathurin of Gervain. The vaulted hexagonal tower warheads north-west, connected to a curtain, probably dates from the late fifteenth century.
