On the entrance gates of Lamotte Castle, look for the coat of arms of the Esparbès family. Interestingly, these same motifs can also be found on the radiator caps of American Cadillac cars. This coat of arms was, in fact, borrowed from Antoine Laumet, a native of Saint-Nicolas-de-la-Grave and founder of the city of Detroit in 1701, who usurped his title of nobility by calling himself Antoine de la Motte de Cadillac. Two and a half centuries later, the American company based in Detroit used the coat of arms of its city's founder, along with part of his name.

It was built in 1844 using Toulouse bricks and Quercy stone by engineer François Terrié, under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste de Baudre[What?], a civil engineer. Its dimensions are: total length 356 m; width 8.35 m on 14 piers. Less than 200 m upstream, the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi et du Canal latéral à la Garonne built the Cacor railway viaduct in 1857. From 1930 to 1932, trains used the canal bridge as a shoulder until the railway viaduct, destroyed by a flood of the Tarn, was replaced by the current bridge.[2]
