In Caylus, in the Tarn-et-Garonne department, this château combines medieval remains with a reconstruction dating from the turn of the 20th century. A square tower from the 14th century, the sole survivor of a castrum first mentioned in 1176, stands alongside a neo-medieval building erected from 1893 onward by architect Paul Gout, complete with corner towers and mullioned windows. The landscaped park, laid out in the early 20th century on the former fortified terraces, rounds out the site.
