HISTORY OF THE CHATEAU The place of Pechrigal appears in the documentation in 1354. In 1368, the lair belonged to the noble Pierre de Casatou, co-seigneur of Gourdon and lord of Saint-Clair. After this date, the chateau's story becomes confusing, as it changes hands many times over the years until 1648, when Jacques de Seguy bought the rights to adapt and other rights, now owning the entire feudal lordship of Pechrigal, which passed by alliance in the following century to the Lagrange-Gourdon. Famously, it was stormed by Captain Panelot who captured Jean de Seguy at the castle in 1590. The castle was then extensively restored in the 20th century. The north wing seems to retain vestiges of the lair mentioned in the 14th century, and the south-eastern pavilion of parts prior to the arrangements of the 16th century, to which the castle probably owes most of its floor plan.
