Chateau de Camponac

Château de Camponac is an 18th-century mansion in Pessac, nestled within Bordeaux's renowned winemaking region and surrounded by lush vineyards and rolling hills. Originally built as a grand residence with architectural details reflecting period artistry, a water feature was created on its grounds facing which a chartreuse, or country house, was built following 18th-century Bordeaux custom. The château has been carefully preserved and now serves dual purposes as both a historical landmark and cultural institution. Home to the Historial Raphaël Saint-Orens museum since 1979, it showcases Pessac's rich history and heritage, housed in what were formerly the estate's stables and old wine vat building, and remains fully accessible by wheelchair for visitor convenience.
