It depends up to the 18th century (revolution) on the domain of St Chaffre. In 1634: marriage of Jacques de Blou des Pressis with Marguerite de Gout de la Charriere (hence the legacy of the stronghold of the Charriere).

His daughter Marguerite had married in 1874 Auguste Léonce, Baron of Cassin, a son Pierre Joachim de Cassin born in 1875 sold the castle and its dependencies to the family From Montravel de Joyeuse in 1902.
