En un regard
Le château en bref
Séguinaud is an estate in Bassens, on the plateau overlooking the Garonne, in the Gironde. It originated as the former bourdieu of Salinet, a wine-producing estate with a manor house, a chapel, wine cellars and a fountain, sold in 1804 to a certain Seguineau, whose name may have given the site its name. The Bordeaux merchant Urbain Maurel acquired it in 1878 and had the complex enlarged at the end of the 19th century, with an eclectic interior remodelling. The ensemble forms a U-shaped plan, open onto a park of about nine hectares that ends in a promontory with a view over the Garonne valley. An 18th-century fountain-washhouse and wings from the early 19th century bear witness to the stages of its development. The park is open to the public, and the site houses a leisure centre.
