Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This monument is part of the local architectural landscape, typical of the historical buildings of the region.

In the general context of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, castles have often played a central role in the social and economic organisation of the territories.
