Château de Cabrerets, Medieval castle in Cabrerets, France.

Château de Cabrerets is a castle above a wooded valley in the commune of Cabrerets, Lot. Its buildings were rebuilt in the 16th century around a large courtyard. The long pale facade has a brown pitched roof and rows of small windows; on the left a tall round tower with a conical roof stands beside a square tower. A stone balcony on columns and three narrow vertical windows mark the central section, and a lower walled terrace extends to the right.

A first castle was built in the 13th century and belonged to the Barasc family, then from the second half of the 15th century to the Cardaillacs. The present building, arranged around a large courtyard, was rebuilt in the 16th century by the Gontaut family, lords of Cabrerets. It belonged to Charles de Gontaut-Biron, a friend of Henry IV who later betrayed him. Sold as national property during the Revolution, its shares were gradually bought around 1850 by Count Murat and his family, who restored it.

The castle reflects how the regional nobility lived and displayed their status through residential architecture during the Renaissance. Its position in the valley shapes how people experience the surrounding landscape, as if the building belongs naturally to the terrain.

The castle stands in the commune of Cabrerets in the Lot department, on a rock above a wooded valley. The buildings are arranged around a large courtyard, and the grounds are private property, so visits depend on the owner's arrangements rather than a fixed public opening. The site is reached by road from the village of Cabrerets.

The castle was sold as national property after the Revolution. Around 1850 Count Murat, deputy of the Lot, and his relatives gradually bought up the shares of the castle and its estate and began restoring it; the present owner, Philippe Sahut d'Izarn, descends from this family.
