The castle belonged to a long line of landlord families , first vassals of the English king, then of the Count of Armagnac. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Pardailhan family had the castle rebuilt. In the 19th century the building was enlarged and completed. The castle and park are located on a rocky promontory, the access to which is via an avenue of cedar trees lined with outbuildings and Antoine de Melet's distillery .
