Château de Saint-Julien d'Empare, Medieval castle in Capdenac-Gare, France.

The castle features an elongated central structure with three remaining corner towers and architectural elements including arrow slits and corbels throughout its walls.

Built in the 14th century as a defensive structure, the castle underwent substantial modifications in 1762 when its central body was rebuilt in Renaissance style.

The castle received recognition as a French historical monument in 1977, with protection specifically covering the facades, roofs, and an isolated tower.

The property remains in private ownership and does not allow public visits, but its exterior can be viewed from several vantage points in Capdenac-Gare.

The castle's position provided strategic control over the Lot River passage, while its remaining foundations reveal traces of former moats on the western side.
