Château de Bocsozel, Medieval castle ruins in Mottier, France.
Two remaining towers stand on a hilltop, with one round tower featuring a vaulted first level built from river pebbles and stones.
The castle appears in documents from January 25, 1000, recorded in the Cartularies of Grenoble Cathedral under the name castrum Bocizelo.
The fortress represents an example of medieval military architecture, demonstrating the evolution of defensive structures in the French territory.
From the village of Mottier, visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a forest path starting at the church and town hall.
The round tower, constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries, maintains its original structure and includes a modern protective roof.
