In the fifteenth century, Bishop Jean of Bourbon, bishop at Puy-en-Velay, built a summer residence for the prelates. It was built as a true fortress to protect itself from bandits, but above all to show the authority of the bishop. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the building was only inhabited by a few sisters of charity and began to decay, the corner towers collapsed. The revolution changed it by making it a public building. The municipality decided to acquire it during its sale in 1807 to make it its premises. In 1850, a tower tower was built with clock. In 1888, a fire destroyed the interior but local elected officials decided to repair the fortress. Moreover, they added slots, the neo-Gothic being in fashion, and the fortress found its defensive medieval character.
