Château de Budos, Medieval castle in Budos, France.

Château de Budos is a medieval fortress in Budos with three residential wings surrounded by four towers, including three cylindrical and one octagonal structure with defensive loopholes. The overall layout demonstrates the defensive planning of a fortified residence from this era.

Raymond Guilhem de Budos, nephew of Pope Clement V, remodelled the old family castle from 1306, following the layout of the neighbouring Château de Villandraut; a royal letter of 9 March 1306 authorised him to crenellate and fortify it. In 1422–23 the English king took the castle, and in 1446–47 it passed to the Count of Foix. Bought by Raymond de La Roque in 1571, it was sacked and its archives burned in 1652 during the Fronde.

The castle displays features of medieval military architecture that reflect in the design of its towers and residential layout. This style shows the power and status of the nobility who lived within these walls.

The fortress is accessible from the outside and can be explored through guided tours organized by the Adichats association. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the terrain is uneven and exploring the exterior structures requires some time.

About 300 m west of the castle, among the vines, stands a small stone building named for its roof, which resembles a Chinese hat. It is thought to be one of the few surviving 17th-century ice houses whose exterior is still intact.
