Château de Busqueilles stands in Autoire (Lot), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Autoire, in the Lot department, the Château de Busqueilles brings together two main buildings dating from the 17th century, later altered in the second half of the 18th. A square stair tower connects them, housing a stone spiral staircase. The dormer windows with triangular pediments on the north side contrast with the wider openings pierced later on the south front. The lauze stone roof, typical of the Haut Quercy region, gives the building its distinctive regional character.
