Château du Bousquet, Medieval castle in Arcambal, France
The castle rises on a promontory above the Lot River, featuring irregular circular towers and a fortified silhouette on its western side.
Construction began in the 11th century with the keep, followed by modifications during the 13th, 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries by different noble families.
The interior displays architectural elements including a Gothic stone staircase and a vaulted hall with crossed ogives adapted for a window opening.
The castle remains in private ownership and does not allow public visits, but received monument historique designation from the French Ministry of Culture in 1979.
Despite local stories claiming it was a Knights of Malta commandery, this is incorrect, though one of its previous owners held the title.
