This monument, whose construction period is not specified in the available sources, is part of the local architectural heritage. Its name and location suggest a historical function, probably linked to the feudal or seigneurial organization of the region.

In the context of the Great East, castles and fortified houses often played a central role in the economic and social life of rural communities.
