Château Laujac stands in Bégadan (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, second half of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the Médoc region, at Bégadan, château Laujac sits on a wine estate whose origins trace back to the 15th century, though the present building dates from 1810. What makes the place notable is as much its architecture as its overall layout: a courtyard of outbuildings at the front, the manor and the wine vat house behind, and above all a network of canals laid out in the 17th century to carry wine to the port, now woven into a landscaped park designed in 1852. Visitors come here for this unusual water landscape as much as for the estate itself, still run by a family of winegrowers.
