Manoir de Gravoux stands in Saint-Genès-de-Castillon (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Gravoux Manor, built in the 14th century in the Gironde region, retains the features of a medieval fortified dwelling. Its central round tower, topped with a roof in the shape of a pepper pot, houses a staircase and dominates the structure. The building's defences, including the surviving wall walk, a corner turret and traces of a second one, reflect its former protective purpose. Inside, 16th-century fireplaces with sculpted door jambs add to the architectural interest of the site.

What to know

  • The manor has been listed as a historic monument since 1964.
