Château de La Buissière, Medieval castle ruins in Bruay-la-Buissière, France.

The remaining rectangular donjon stands as the primary structure of the former castle, displaying medieval defensive architecture from northern France.

Countess Mahaut d'Artois ordered the construction of the donjon around 1310 as part of the castle's fortification against potential invasions.

The castle walls contain a preserved heraldic shield displaying the arms of the noble family who resided in this strategic military position.

Located at coordinates 50.4922, 2.55972, the exterior ruins of Château de La Buissière are accessible for visitors throughout the year.

In 1662, parts of the castle's sandstone materials were sold to King Louis XIV for construction projects in the city of Menin.
