Origin and history

Isabeau de Naujan Castle is a building located in the commune of Saint-Vincent-de-Pertignos in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its architectural style, but its name evokes a medieval or reborn origin, frequent for castles in this region. In the general context of New Aquitaine, castles have often played a central role in local social and economic organization.

They served as seigneurial residences, defence places or symbols of power. In Saint-Vincent-de-Pertignas, as in other wine-growing villages, these monuments could also be linked to farming or wine production, a major activity of the region for centuries.
