The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'origine de ces fortifications n'est pas connue mais le mode de construction pourrait les faire remonter au 11e siècle. L'édifice défendait autrefois la frontière et fermait à l'ennemi les débouchés d'Aragnonet et de Rioumajon. Il subsiste des pans de murs et la tour carrée de l'ancien donjon.

History
The origin of these fortifications is unknown but the method of construction could make them date back to the 11th century. The building formerly defended the frontier and closed off to the enemy the outlets of Aragnonet and Rioumajon. There remain sections of walls and the square tower of the old keep.
