All
along the History, the writings of this exceptional location have changed
from Saujean, Saujan to finally Sogeant.
"Already
stated, in a charter from the 10th October 1331 by King Edward III of
England, towards the men from “Entre deux Mers” it is listed
that the knight Bernardo de Seugano, was Lord of the parish of Saint-Caprazy,
the town in which the castle now stands”. |

The castle was rebuilt at the end of the XV century
and belonged then to the family De Piis.
In 1525 Jehan de Piis nominated his sisters his heir, and on the 25th
May 1568, the new owner Jehan Mahus, paid the King his respect in the
Castle.
On the 4th March 1775, by marrying Marguerite Henriette de
Chavailles de Fougeras, Lord Antoine Joseph de Canolle, Knights of Lescours,
became owner of the Land of
Saujean, as part of the dowry brought by his wife into the Wedding.

The domain was of 600 acres wide, between
meadows, woods and red and white Vineyards.
The State will belong to the Family De Canolle for over a century, till
the 17th November 1892, when Mr Amedee Balaresque bought it and restored
it by adding in particular a
new aisle of around 400 m2 to the original building, following the plans
of Mr Leon Drouyn , Architect.
During
the 20th century , the castle belonged to several owners and didn’t
receive in the last 30 years the maintenance it deserved .

in order to allow the lovers of History and Authenticity to spend unforgettable
moments inside one of the oldest and most beautiful edifice of the region,
finally recovering its original splendour.
