Château d'Eck, Medieval castle in Cadaujac and Saint-Selve, France

Four towers and defensive walls form the exterior structure of Château d'Eck, featuring Renaissance windows incorporated into former arrow slits.

Built in the late 12th century under the name Freytets, the castle was confiscated by King Edward I of England in 1287 before returning to French ownership.

The castle received Pope Clement V, formerly known as Bertrand de Goth, during his stay in 1302 prior to his papal appointment.

The castle underwent major restoration work in 1969 under architect Labau, who preserved the medieval character while modernizing the structure.

François Eck inherited the property through marriage in 1824, giving the castle its current name and establishing its wine-producing legacy.
