History

Pech Godou Manor is a fortified noble residence in France, built in the medieval Périgord tradition. Périgord is a historic region in southwestern France. Construction began in the 12th century and ended in the 19th.

In the 16th century, the manor belonged to the Commarque family, which supported the Protestant side. In 1577, Annet de Commarque, a nobleman and lord of Pechgaudou, Sigognac, La Barde, and Molières, received Henry of Navarre there. Henry later became Henry IV of France, reigning from 1589. The manor received France’s historic-monument protection designation on 23 February 1981.
