Château de Cazilhac, Medieval castle in Le Bousquet-d'Orb, France.
The castle stands on a rocky outcrop with a low-pitched tile roof and two square towers overlooking the Orb Valley.
Built in the 13th century by Joncels monks as a fortified house, the castle was destroyed during the Hundred Years War and reconstructed by the Peyrottes family.
The castle sits along the Via Tolosana pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela, marking a significant point on this medieval religious path.
The castle courtyard and gardens are open for visits, with the nearest train station in Le Bousquet-d'Orb providing three daily round trips.
An aqueduct built in 1851 by economist Michel Chevalier brings water from the Orb River to supply the castle farms and gardens.
