Château du Vigneau stands in Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 19th century, first quarter of the 20th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Château du Vigneau is a nineteenth-century residence in Bayonne, reflecting the historical prominence of the local Jewish community during that era. Originally a wine-producing estate, it was converted into a country house and saw significant damage during the 1814 siege before being restored from 1848 onwards and substantially transformed by architect Gomez in 1918. The property sits within a landscaped setting composed of three distinct levels: ornamental gardens surrounding the main building, a terrace overlooking a sloping valley, and the wooded terrain below.
