Chateau de Cadillac

Chateau de Cadillac

• Monument

Overlooking the Garonne river and the bastide de Cadillac, the castle of the Dukes of Epernon, a prime example of early 17th century architecture, was an impressive monument in its day, and it rivaled royal properties. Of the richly decorated castle built by the Duke of Epernon (1554-1642), all that remains is the main building with its two wings at right angles, the courtyard and the garden. Inside, there are monumental marble fireplaces with carved figures, painted ceilings from the 17th century and tapestries. This decoration gives a good idea of the splendor of the receptions given in honor of the visits of Henri IV, Louis XIII and Louis XIV.
