The history of Ch\u00e2teau Branda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Branda Castle was built in the 14\u1d49 century on the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa. Coins, tile fragments and vases from the ancient period have been found here. In the Middle Ages, it was a barracks established to receive reserve troops. According to Raymond Guinaudie, the great historian of Libourne, the Ch\u00e2teau de Branda was the seat of a small vassal lordship of the powerful Viscounty of Fronsac, which became a duchy under the reign of Henri IV. It is a historical place: occupied by the armies of Edward III of England, Branda saw the battle of Carney take place at its feet, which left 1,500 dead around the fortress.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The area was liberated in 1453 during the Castillon battle, which marked the end the Hundred Years War of British and French.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The castle was transformed into a residency in the early 16th<\/sup> century by Antoine de Chanteloube and Catherine de Montferrand. Branda was attached to the Cadillac barony in 1599 by Louis de Gentilh, a rich parliamentarian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this period, Cadillac\u2019s properties edified in 1502 and Branda was composed of only one entity of more than 500 arable hectares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rehabilitation of the castle started in the 1990\u2019s by the owners to give back some attraction to the building and its medieval garden.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
