Château de Cadillac, Renaissance castle in Cadillac-sur-Garonne, France.

The Château de Cadillac displays French Renaissance architecture with symmetrical proportions, high ceilings, and carefully designed interior spaces completed in 1634.

Jean-Louis de Nogaret de La Valette, first Duke of Épernon and influential figure under King Henry III, commissioned the construction between 1598 and 1634.

The castle contains a collection of 16th and 17th-century tapestries and period furniture that reflect the living standards of French nobility.

Located 35 kilometers southeast of Bordeaux, the castle offers guided tours for 7 euros, with free entry for visitors under 26 years old.

The castle transformed into a prison during the 19th century and later served as a preservation school for young women until 1952.
