It belonged to the Puch family before being acquired by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[Octave-Henri_GabrielHenri Gabriel,_comte_de_S%C3%A9gur Linkcomte labelde Ségur|Gabriel de Ségur] ], [[seigneur]] of Pitray. From there it passed on to Pierre de Ségur, son of Thomas, co-seigneur of Pitray, and to his daughter Henriette, married to Alexandre de Puch in 1715, whose descendants remained in possession of the property until 1900. Pierre de Ségur, chevalier of Pitray and a lieutenant in the [[Koenigsmark Cavalry Regiment]], distinguished himself during the [[dragonnades]], or persecutions directed against Protestants during the reign of Louis XIV.
Originally the main part of the house consisted of two wings of equal size in the shape of perpendicular rectangles, delimiting the courtyard opening out onto the Dordogne River. Pitray became the property of Doctor Samuel Amanieux at the end of the 19th century and in 1905, a Bordeaux architect joined the two wings by a massive flat-roofed building and an Italianate terrace lined with pilasters. ▼
