The original building, built in the 11th century, was the embryo of the town and the political center of the district. It was part of the network of castles aimed at the defense of the colonists who repopulated the lands conquered by the Saracens. In the twelfth century, the Saracen threat faded but the process of feudalization caused disputes between Castilians for control of the castle, with several sagas taking place: the Cardona, the Talamanca, the Castellbell. In 1717, Bourbon troops demolished the castle, a fate shared by many of the castles of Old Catalonia. In the 18th century, the Castellbells built the manor house with a tower.
