The castle of Pommiers de Saint-Félix-de-Foncaude is a fortified complex from the 13th and 14th centuries, built by the Pommiers family, lords loyal to the King of England. Located in southwestern Gironde, the site comprises two successive defensive walls, watchtowers, a medieval water mill and a dovecote, arranged around the Vignague stream. Since 1994, a local association has opened the site for visitor access.

What to know

The site includes both original fortified walls, barbicans (advanced defensive structures), a water mill heightened in the 14th century, and a medieval bridge crossing the stream.
The estate, owned by an Anglo-Aquitanian family in the Middle Ages, was transformed into a wine-producing domain in the 19th century, reflecting the region's local history.
The remains extend across several parcels around the Vignague stream, whose course and defensive access terraces are protected features.
