Origin and history

Château Pinguet is a monument located in the town of Budos, in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This lack of information limits the understanding of its initial role and its transformations over the centuries.

In the New Aquitaine region, noble castles and houses often played a central role in the social and economic organization of the territories. They served as residences for local lords, agricultural land management sites or defence points. In Budos, as in other rural communities, these monuments generally reflected the life and activities of the surrounding populations, marked by agriculture, livestock and local exchanges.
