Domaine constitué à partir du 15e siècle. A la fin du 18e siècle, il a la configuration traditionnelle d'un domaine bastidaire provençal. En 1865, un entrepreneur architecte Pierre-Hilaire Curtil achète le domaine et reconstruit entièrement le château dans un style éclectique. Parc profondément remanié dans la seconde moitié du 19e siècle grâce au canal de Marseille. Aile occidentale ajoutée en 1902. En 1941, Marcel Pagnol achète le domaine ("le château de ma mère") , mais depuis, l'édifice n'a cessé de se dégrader.

Estate built up from the 15th century. At the end of the 18th century, it had the traditional configuration of a Provençal bastide estate. In 1865, an architect-entrepreneur Pierre-Hilaire Curtil bought the estate and completely rebuilt the château in an eclectic style. Park profoundly remodelled in the second half of the 19th century thanks to the Marseille canal. Western wing added in 1902. In 1941, Marcel Pagnol bought the estate ("the château of my mother"), but since then, the building has continued to deteriorate.
