The origin of this fiefdom, located in Bourbon land, dates back to the twelfth century. In the 14th century, it belonged to Marguerite de Bourbon, great-granddaughter of Saint Louis. Passing to several powerful families, it was bought in 1877 by Pierre-Hector Aubergier whose son, with the help of the architect Camus, led a major restoration of the castle in 1884 and then of the outbuildings in 1932.
