Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This monument is part of a territory marked by a varied architectural heritage, often linked to the rural and seigneurial history of the region.

In the general context of the Centre-Val de Loire, castles and mansions played a central role in the social and economic organization of the countryside.
