The château is easily visible from the village heights. It was the property of the lord of Montbrun, "Charles Dupuy de Montbrun", who was a very active Huguenot leader during the Wars of Religion (second half of the 16th century). He took part in numerous battles, liberating besieged towns throughout the south-east of France.
