Château d'Empeaux, Renaissance castle in Empeaux, France.

The castle features a rectangular structure with three levels, cylindrical watchtowers at the entrances, and square towers facing the garden side.

Built in the late 16th century by the Lambès family, the castle passed to the Italian Cathala family when François Cathala became lord of Empeaux in 1607.

The castle represents the architectural heritage of the Haute-Garonne region with its terracotta brick construction and 19th-century medieval-influenced renovations.

Located 40 kilometers west of Toulouse, the castle sits at the heart of Empeaux village, next to the church and local cemetery.

The property maintained its baronial title through the Doujat family until 2002, marking nearly three centuries of aristocratic lineage.
