The estate, known as La Grange du Gar, was owned by the Deluc family at the end of the Ancien Régime. Later, Adelaïde-Édouard Lelièvre, marquis de La Grange, senator and member of the institute, grand officer of the legion of honor, diplomat, acquires by his marriage with the daughter of the duke of La Force, the property of La Grange in 1847. A new castle in a neo-Gothic style was built there on the site of the outbuildings according to a project by the Bordeaux architect Gustave Alaux. The work was completed in 1856, as evidenced by the date on a cul-de-lampe near the entrance.
The old noble house of Lagrange comprised a rectangular main building flanked by quadrangular towers at opposite angles and a circular turret; this one dating from 1641 as well as a datable fountain from the 17th century isolated in the park reminds us of the presence of an old castle which has now disappeared. Multiple gargoyles and chimeras decorate the building and give this place a surprisingly magical side. It is connected to the old turret by a neo-Gothic chapel whose sculpted decoration is probably due to the ornamentalist Octavien Belloc, who also worked under the authority of Gustave Alaux on the restoration site of the church of Saint -Ciers-sur-Gironde.
Today, the Borgeat de Lagrange castle is not a place freely open to the public, it is inhabited by the owners but also you can meet some travelers under the same roof. Indeed, this castle offers for small groups 5 separate guest rooms and all the luxury comforts of such an establishment (kitchen with dishwasher, dining area, microwave oven, barbecue, terrace, swimming pool, garden, car park), which is why we invite you to take advantage of all the places of life at your disposal in the conviviality and the respect of the intimacy of each one.
