The name of the castle derives from a legend according to which the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate stayed there while on his way to Vienne, in Gaul, where he was exiled by Caligula. In reality, at the time in the village there was only a Roman mansio, but the imaginative support to support the legend was given by the discovery in 1846, reported by Édouard Aubert, of some ancient coins and Roman medals among the ruins of the castle of Pilate. In reality, the discovery of the coins probably diverted an earlier tradition: in fact, Pilate's passage through Nus was already mentioned in the seventeenth century by another historiographical work, which curiously wants Pilate to have stayed rather in the upper castle. It is a stronghold with a rectangular plan built by the Lords of Nus (Seigneurs de Nus) in the feudal period, of the building which consisted of four floors only the two hanging corner turrets and three of the thick perimeter walls in bare stone remain.
