This fortified house, visible from afar, was part of a complex that was intended to protect the port of Le Conquet from raids, which had been very frequent since the 13th century, and to facilitate the collection of shipping fees.
The complex consisted of three watchtowers staggered along the southern bank of the Ria. Remains of one of these buildings still remain and another has been converted into a residential building. They were older than the Poncelin House (or Maison de Seigneurs), which can be dated to around 1510.
