Château ducal de Cadillac
Built in the 17th century, this château combines splendour and military pomp. From the 19th century to the 1950s, this abandoned château was used as a women’s prison.
Overlooking the Garonne and the bastide of Cadillac, this great provincial castle was built in 1599 by the Duke of Epernon, favorite of Henry III, then transformed into a jail for women (1820 - 1952).
Today, the castle bears witness to both the splendor of the 17th century (French chimneys, authentic painted ceilings) and the harsh reality of this 130-year-old jail.
Its French garden is today opened by the city of Cadillac as a public garden.
