In the Middle Ages it is the center of one of the six châtellenies of the county of Charolais.
The castle is the subject of a partial inscription in respect of historical monuments by decree of 29 October 1926.Until the Charolais became part of the kingdom of France in 1761, the history of the castle coincided with that of the village of Charolles, which developed between the church of Saint-Nizier situated at the point of the spur and the castle which Barred the northeast access.
