Château d'Eymet, Medieval castle in Eymet, France
Château d'Eymet is a 13th-century castle with a square keep standing near the Dropt river. The structure features defensive elements including ramparts, an angle turret, and a bretèche positioned above the main entrance.
This castle was built in the 13th century, predating the establishment of the bastide of Eymet. In 1377, it was recaptured from English control by the army of Bertrand du Guesclin.
The castle grounds bring together locals and visitors throughout the year at regional festivals and gatherings. These occasions show how people keep their traditions alive in everyday life.
The grounds are free to enter and offer picnic areas, a restaurant, a café, and a children's play area. The site is accessible for visitors with reduced mobility.
The structure was designed to face both the interior and exterior of the bastide town, with the Monseigneur Tower as its main defensive centerpiece. This layout shows how it served the town's strategic planning.
