A prior château on the estate, located below the current, was named Petimus and, in 1620, belonged to François de L'Hospital, Governor of the Bastille.

[1] In 1887, Baron Camont de Valence and Marie de Beaumont sold the former estates of Petimus and Evosseaux to Joachim Murat, 5th Prince Murat,[a] and his wife, Cécile Ney d'Echingen (a great-granddaughter of Marshal Ney).

During World War II, the château was occupied by the Germans after which it was left abandoned.

[1] In 1977, the château was acquired by local industrialist Pierre Simonet, who restored the property.

[1] Besides renting the château for use as a filming location, they host weddings and equestrian events on the estate, managed by Simonet's granddaughter, Claire Flavian.
