The castle was built in the 14th century on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa, the Villa Molini, and remodelled and modernised in the 17th and 19th centuries in the shape of a horseshoe.
In the neo-Gothic chapel (constructed 1830 and remodelled under the Second Empire) is a 15th-century Pietà painted on wood, a gift from the Carthusians of Val-Saint-Georges.
