Origin and history

The Château de Jourdan is a building located in the town of Escalans, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The available sources do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, limiting the information to its existence as a local monument. In the general context of New Aquitaine, castles in this region have often played a central role in the social and economic organization of rural areas.

They served as seigneurial residences, defence sites or administrative centres, reflecting local dynamics of power and agriculture, particularly in wine-growing and agricultural areas such as Escalans.
