Château d'Empeaux

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

Château d'Empeaux is a castle from the Renaissance period located in Empeaux, France, with a rectangular layout spanning three levels. It features cylindrical watchtowers at the entrances and square towers on the side facing the garden.

The castle was built in the late 1500s by the Lambès family and came into the hands of the Italian Cathala family in 1607 when François Cathala became lord of Empeaux. The Doujat family later took ownership and held the baronial title until 2002.

The castle shows the building style of the Haute-Garonne region through its terracotta brick walls and 19th-century renovations that reference medieval design. Visitors can observe this blend of different periods in the structure itself.

The castle stands in the heart of Empeaux, on the same street as the town hall and next to the church and cemetery. The village lies 40 km west of Toulouse, on the border between Haute-Garonne and Gers. The building is private property, so it is seen from the street and the grounds outside.

The Doujat family kept the title of Baron of Empeaux until the line died out in 2002, but they no longer owned the castle or its estate by then. The château passed through the hands of the Lautier, Mathieu, Alaux, Secail and Gelis families, and has always remained private property.
