Château de Peychaud stands in Ambarès-et-Lagrave (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Château Peychaud stands in Ambarès-et-Lagrave, in the Gironde, at the heart of a wine estate that has stayed in the same family since the 17th century. Built around 1630 by the Marquis de Fayet, a counsellor at the Bordeaux Parliament, it kept its original long single-storey main building, flanked by two square pavilions topped with pyramid roofs, to which round turrets and wings were added later. The estate still bears traces of a large drainage project carried out by Dutch engineers to dry out the surrounding marshland, and several of the canals remain visible.

What to know

The façades and roofs have been listed as a historic monument since 1966.
The château is first and foremost the seat of a working wine estate, which shapes how visits are organised.
The old drainage canals dug from the 17th or 18th century onward are still visible on the grounds.
No opening times or admission fees are given in the available data, so it is best to check directly with the estate.
