Man has inhabited Bruignac for two thousand years:

  ° a gallo-roman villa (Brunhat) prospered there from the first to the fourth century AD;

  ° a church (Saint Maur de Bruignac) built, on the ruins of the gallo-roman villa, in the 8th century at the moment of christianisation of Aquitaine was destroyed during the Religions'Wars of the 16th.

  ° a "motte" (fort built of earth and wooden beams), several fortified houses, and then a tower and a manor with its auxiliary buildings

have been residences of the Lords of Bruignac since at least year 1000. Vines have been grown and wine has been made at Bruignac since year 1000 for

certain, and probably since the time of the gallo-roman villa. Thus throughout the centuries, owners of Bruignac have protected its authenticity

aided by the fact that Bruignac remained in the same family for 750 years, and then in a second family for another century.

Recent owners invest in reviving the property and progressively give it back its original grandeur.
