It is built in the late thirteenth century by Edward I of England on one of the main roads between Perigord and Agen. During the Hundred Years War, he became a centerpiece in the game of the Anglo-French war of attrition. It burned in 1789 during the French Revolution. It was purchased by the aviator Jean Mermoz in 1936, a year before his death.
