When the castle was discovered in the 15th century, it was in ruins. Jean V de Bueil purchased the castle and began rebuilding it during the 1440s. In 1455, his son, Antoine, sold the castle to Jacques d’Espinay. Espinay built the chapel and continued to rebuild the castle. By the 1900s, the castle was well-known for its picturesque position within the Loire Valley.
