Château de Lavaud-Bousquet stands in Haute-Vienne on a site rich in history: an Iron Age tumulus remains nearby, and Roman gold mines were worked on the grounds themselves. Construction dates to the late 16th century, visible in the round towers at the northwest and southwest corners, while the main building belongs to the same period or early 17th century. The interior preserves French-style ceilings and, in the great hall, 18th-century wood paneling restored in the 20th century.
