Château de Pécany, castle in Pomport, Dordogne, France
Château de Pécany is an 18th-century building in Pomport in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The structure features two wing-like sections arranged around a central body with turrets, stone chimneys, and multiple roof dormer windows, with the southern facade overlooking open grassland.
The castle was built in 1780 by the de Courssou family on 16th-century foundations and received two towers plus a central staircase in 1840. In 1926, Jean Siegler, a relative of the de Courssou family, purchased the property and began expanding the vineyards.
The château gave its name to the wines made from its vineyard, sold commercially from 1926 under Jean Siegler. Grape growing here belongs to one of France's oldest wine regions, and the estate later sold its grapes in bulk to the local vintners' co-operative. Since 2024 part of the building has served as a concert venue.
The grounds are easily accessible and located near several towns in the region. Visitors can explore the exterior and walk through the surroundings, particularly during events or special open days when access is available.
The château itself was separated from its vineyards in 1990, when Marie-France Siegler bought the building from her siblings while the surrounding vines stayed with the Saladin family. Since 2024 the castle has been partly used as a concert venue.
