Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of monument, often linked to aristocracy or territorial defence, could play a central role in the local organisation, both economically and socially.

In this region, castles have frequently served as seigneurial residences or agricultural management sites, reflecting feudal and post-feudal dynamics.
