Eden Castle was built in the latter half of the 16th century by the Meldrum family with renovation and additional building carried out by George Leslie from 1676. From 1712, the castle was owned by William Duff, the Earl of Fife.

The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
