The castrum of Saignes, with its ancient chapel outside the enceinte, became the property of the Lagarde family in the 14th century. Pierre de Lagarde, ambassadeur extraordinaire of Francis I, carried out a restoration of the estate. The castle fell into escheat during the 19th century.

The castle has seven round towers. The chapel is adorned with a bell-gable.

The Château de Saignes is private property. It has been listed since 2002 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
