The Manor has a long history, we only know a small part. The oldest has been forgotten and there are only a few remains to interpret.

It was originally a mansion or castle built by a wealthy and influential person to settle there with his family. It was certainly built in the 15th century at a time of trouble, marked by the Hundred Years War.

We are in Rouergue, name of the province at the origin of Aveyron. At that time, the main security problem is the existence of gangs of "truckers" made up of mercenaries without pay who scour and loot the villages. It is therefore increasingly necessary to build strongholds to protect themselves.

In addition, the communication roads had to be protected and the crossing points were monitored. These are all opportunities to establish tolls marking the territories and justify the building of a castle.

The Manor was located near the ford / passage and had to play its role of collector of toll, protection of pilgrims .
