A settlement with the name Lucidorius is mentioned for the first time around the time of the conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar . The first castle complex was built around 1190, which was later expanded into a larger fortification by Hugo von Noyers, Bishop of Auxerre, by the end of the 12th century. From 1419 the place and the castle were owned by the Dukes of Burgundy .
