All that remains on the site is a watchtower that could date allobroges. The castle of Pinet, formidable, dominating the houses from below hung on the hillside, was already existing in the eleventh century. From the fortress disappeared there remains the wall overlooking the current road and a few sections of walls below.
The lonely tower built in brick, imposing dimensions, suggests that the building she had to protect was the most powerful castles in the region.
The castle of Pinet has indeed belonged to the powerful lords of Beauvoir de Marc from at least the middle of the twelfth century until the death of Guigue de Beauvoir in 1336. Then it is sold in 1336 to Dauphin Humbert he and the King of France in 1349.
