Château de Buzet-sur-Baïse, Medieval castle in Buzet-sur-Baïse, France.
This 13th-century castle features a rectangular plan flanked by two round towers and a hexagonal tower containing a remarkable spiral staircase.
Built in the 11th century then rebuilt after a fire caused by the English in 1293-1294, the castle hosted King Charles IX in 1565.
The castle preserves Notre-Dame chapel with painted ceilings from the 17th century and a sculpted salamander testifying to Renaissance art.
Currently closed for renovation work, the castle has been managed by the Coopérative des Vignerons de Buzet since 2018.
The remains of the ancient castral village of Haut-Buzet still surround the castle, offering archaeological testimony of a thousand years of history.
