In 1212, the Beaux family took over the lordship of the castle, which dates back to the 10th century. At the same time, the property was put at the disposal of the Templars, who left their mark on the village: the austere architecture of the castle and the church.
1789 The Revolution (May 5, 1789 - November 9, 1799) arrived and it was necessary to submit to the new rules: the bells were melted down to make cannons, the tree of liberty was planted on the Place de l'Ormeau, the privileges were abolished, the seigniorial window in the church was closed, the coats of arms were destroyed and the widow Lombard, heiress of the seigniory, fled abroad. The castle became national property and was sold in 4 parts to farmers: an oil mill, a school classroom and two houses.
In 1969 the castle became the property of the commune.
