It is a rural castle of which evidence exists still in the fourteenth century. Under the Cistercian monks, it became a grange, a center of agricultural management. It was used as a refuge and shelter for tools, men, animals, and agricultural products, but also to manage the local assets and rents. For this reason, it was necessary a defensive fortification.

Historical references of the sixteenth century tell of the presence, in addition to the Castle, also of mills, houses, roads, and farms from which it is possible to assume that the cultivation of grains and rice was an ongoing activity. The original agricultural role never changed over the centuries, but the Castle has been renovated several times.
