Its name suggests an ancient origin, but no significant date or event is documented in current information.

Monuments such as Dol Castle, located in rural areas such as Gilhoc-sur-Ormèze, often played a central role in the local organization. They could serve as a noble residence, a defence point, or a symbol of power in a region where agriculture and local exchanges structured daily life. In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, these buildings also reflected feudal or post-feudal dynamics, depending on their time.
