The castle was built at the time of the Treaty of Amiens (1279) by the Bishop of Lectoure, Géraud de Monlezun. It defended the frontier of the English possessions. The castle had a rectangular shape, with two towers attached to the north facade.[1]
It has been listed since 1977 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
