It appears for the first time in documents from 1285, appearing as a fortified house that would later be called a castle. At first it was known as Colobrer castle and later, Montesquiu.

Its origin is probably in the enclave where there was a guard tower that Count Guifré (el Pilós) ordered to be built in the 11th century. In the 14th century it was converted into a fortified residence and in the 16th century the castle was enlarged and fortified. However, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that it was reformed to give it the appearance it has today.
