This large medieval ruin is a listed monument. The foundation of the castle seems to go back to the beginning of the eleventh century since 1058, the site is mentioned in a deed of gift to the abbey of St. Victor of Marseille. Construction of buildings that have survived seem to stagger between the thirteenth and seventeenth century by which time it was dismantled on royal order. During the Revolution the City Council demolished what was left.
