Although the precise date of the castle's construction is unknown, it is believed to have been during the Christian Reconquista in the 12th century, during the reign of King Afonso Henriques (1112-1185), and sometime between 1159, the date of the Redinha Charter—according to an epigraphic inscription of that date in Almourol—which mentions the construction of a series of castles, including Pombal Castle, by Gualdim Pais (son of Paio Ramires), then Master of the Knights Templar in Portugal. Pombal Castle indeed follows the same architectural lines characteristic of the Templars, present not only in Almourol but also in those of Idanha, Monsanto, Tomar, and Zêzere, its contemporaries. The function of this complex was to provide defense and settlement for these lands, south of the Mondego River, entrusted to the Order. Gualdim Pais himself granted a charter to Pombal in 1174, a town that developed on the southern slope of the castle hill.
