The chateau is first mentioned in the cadastral archives in 1897. At that time, a Parisian wine merchant built a 'second home' on the estate. The estate was sold in 1913. In the 1920s, the new owner commissioned renovations and expansions into the current chateau. He appointed architect Marcel Oudin to transform the building into an Art Nouveau-style chateau. Oudin was renowned for his buildings in this style.

The structure consists primarily of concrete and brick. In the 1970s, the estate and the castle were purchased by an Iranian businessman, who had the interior restored. He lived in the chateau for only three years before moving to the United States. Contacts between the mayor and the property owner in 1999 revealed that the latter had no intention of reoccupying the property, nor of selling it. The chateau soon began to fall into disrepair, even more so once it fell prey to thieves and vandals.
