The de Maillé family became the owner of the domain for three centuries from 1350 until 1650.

The actual castle was built thanks to René de Maillé and finished in 1530.

Next it passed onto the Tiercelin d’Appelvoisin family and then Barjot de Roncée bought it.

During the Revolution, the Château was owned by Charles Tiercelin d’Apelvoisin, a deputy in the  government the « Estates-General » of 1789 and who died in 1793 on the guillotine.
