Carignan-de-Bordeaux: the history of the village and its neighbouring châteaux
- Antiquity – The Romans settle here and build villas, whose remains survive at the sites of Soney, Roqueys and Cabirac. The commune's name is said to come from Carinus, emperor in 284–285.
- 5th century – The Visigoths invade the region; at the start of the 6th century Clovis takes control.
- 11th–12th centuries – Rural parishes multiply; Carignan becomes the “Parrochia de Sant Martinus de Carnaho”.
- 1137 – Eleanor becomes heiress to the Duchy of Aquitaine on the death of her brother William Aigret.
- Middle Ages – Carignan is split between three jurisdictions, including the small provostship of the Entre-deux-Mers and the captalate of Latresne.
- Middle Ages – The neighbouring estate of Gassies, in Latresne, is recorded as the noble house of Gassies or the Tour de Gassies.
- Second half of the 18th century – The present Château de Gassies is built, succeeding an older noble house.
The sources consulted do not document the history of Château Grand-Arnaud itself: there is no dedicated article on this building. Here, then, is the context of the village and its surroundings, based on Wikipedia.
Several historic houses dot the commune and its neighbours, such as Château Beaugey in Carignan-de-Bordeaux and the Château de Gassies in Latresne, as well as the churches of Saint-Martin in Carignan and Saint-Siméon in Bouliac.
