The town originally belonged to the monastery of Sant Martí de les Escaules and, later, to that of Sant Pere de Rodes. In 1123 it was given in feud to the count of Empúries. During the 14th century it was owned by the bishops of Girona. Between 1321 and the beginning of the s. xvi the castle was owned by the Vilamarí, barons of Boadella. In 1485, Bernat de Vilamarí, corsair and admiral of the King of Aragon’s Navy, had it reformed and turned it into a Gothic castle-palace. On the main portal there is a registration with these details. After 1486, the peasants, dissatisfied with the lord, left the place. The castle would pass into the hands of families such as the Almogàver, the Albanell and, later, other bourgeois families from Barcelona and Perpignan; and in 1785 by the baron of Palau-surroca and Calabuig. During the 18th century, the Marcè de Can Felip family administered the castle.
