Location History
In the Beginning, the castle was just a lookout tower. People started living in there in 1270. Jean Narbonnaise became the owner in the 14th Century. The name of the property has changed several times because of the inheritance by daughters. But the castle remained in the same family till the french revolution, when the heirs went away. The top of the towers where destroyed. The castle became a state ownership. And it is the grandfather of the actual owners who bought it years ago.
