The origins of the Château date back to the 11th Century when a fortified stronghold was built as five or six story military tower. Today only three floors remain following the French Revolution when the top floors of these towers were ordered to be removed to prevent the rebelling population occupying towers of strategic importance.

The current tower serves as the main staircase in the Château with two later editions ‘wrapped’ around the original tower. As the Château developed into an important land owning abode we start to see mentions of the estate in historical records dating from 1469 when the domain of Brazalem was sold to Jean de Morville. Subsequently divided in the first half of the 17th Century between Francois de Morville and Pierre de Molere, master of Gueyze, who was evidently responsible for building Château de Gueyze in the mid-17th Century and in any case before 1670 when, according to Lahore, his sons wedding took place here.

In 1670 the Château was sold to Joesph de Coquet who was advisor to the King at the Court of Agen. In the mid-19th Century the Coquet family commissioned major building work including outbuildings and two round corner towers, demolished during restoration work in the 1970s, but still featuring on the Château de Gueyze wine label.

The Château and outbuilding were abandoned at some point in the mid-1900s and fell into disrepair when collapsing roofs and nature took over. In the 1980s the Château was acquired and major basic renovation work started but again abandoned as the scale off work was obviously daunting. Subsequently sold another two times with some basic renovations we bought the ‘shell’ of a building in 2013 and began a major project to complete other peoples efforts. We are proud of all the work of previous owners who laid the foundations of what is today an important and fully restored building. We are only the current custodians of this piece of history and hope that the Château will continue to be owned and loved in the Centuries ahead.
