Château de Busset, Historic castle in Busset, France
The castle features a main residential building with a second-floor gallery, surrounded by moats and complemented by French and Italian gardens.
The castle stands on the site of a former Knights Templar commandery from the 13th century, later becoming the residence of the Bourbon-Busset family.
The east wall of the gallery displays 16th-century frescoes depicting the poetic works of Henri Baude, representing medieval artistic expression.
The castle remains closed to regular visitors, with special openings planned for October 2023 including night tours and Halloween celebrations.
The defensive system includes removable floor joists that could be withdrawn during attacks to prevent access between different castle sections.
