Castle Lagorce, formally known as 'noble house of the large gorce,' is one of the most important buildings of heritage in Haux. The site has been built on since Roman times, with the oldest tower dating from the 15th century featuring walls 1.2 metres thick. The castle originally had a moat and was embroiled in feudal wars during the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. The majority of the castle was constructed by artisan builders for an affluent Bordeaux family in 1766. The name 'Lagorce' or 'The Great Gorce' derives from a type of vegetation which appeared at the beginning of the 16th century. The Faugeres family were lords of Lagorce since at least 1516, and the Montaudon family accomplished major work on the property around 1643. Under the revolution in 1793, the property changed hands multiple times. The Faux family brought prosperity through vineyards in the 19th century, producing wines that the famous Ferret described as a 'different Yquem' of exceptional quality. The Holmes family have been caring for the chateau since approximately 2002, lovingly restoring it with an eye for detail and authenticity. Monumental steps were built for Napoleon III.
