The history of this estate dates back to the Middle Ages, when the region was the scene of many conflicts and numerous fortified castles were built to protect the land and its inhabitants from invasion and attack. Château de la Motte Basse is thought to have been built at this time, probably as a seigneurial residence and strategic defense point.

 

 

Over the centuries, the estate probably changed hands several times, passing through the hands of different noble families in the region. It has probably witnessed numerous historical events, such as battles, sieges and political alliances.
