Château de Buzet-sur-Baïse stands in Buzet-sur-Baïse (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century, 15th century, 16th century, 17th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Buzet-sur-Baïse, this 13th-century château carries the memory of a shared medieval lordship, later unified under the Grossolles family, who made it their main residence during the Renaissance. The main draw today is the painted ceilings on the first floor, listed as historic monuments, decorated with emblems drawn from a 16th-century Italian scholar's work. The surrounding estate still holds traces of a wider past: a freestanding round tower, remnant of a second, vanished château, an old village site, a park with its follies, and a former church.
