The castle belonged to a family of the same name. It was taken by Charles d'Amagnac, Viscount of Creissels in 1471  and reformed in 17th century.In the 18th Century, we counted 200 sheep heads, 30 pairs of oxen and 150 porks for a population of 93 inhabitants. Cereal and walnuts was taken to the Moulin-de-Corp (the Mill) for the flour and the oil. The Moulin de Corp (stemming from the occitan gorg the abyss) belonged to the Lord of Montméjean.
