Château du Bousquet, France.
The Château du Bousquet is an old restored fortified castle which stands in the French town of Montpeyroux in the department of Aveyron, in the Occitanie region.
The castle is the subject of a total registration as a historical monument.
The origin of the castle, dating from the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century, remains mysterious since the most important documentation begins with the arrival of the Roquefeuil-Blanquefort family, old Languedoc nobility, in 1610. The last Marquis de Roquefeuil did not leave until 1791. This family stayed at Le Bousquet until the beginning of the 20th century. Currently it is owned by the Dijols family.

Restormel Castle, located near Lostwithiel in Cornwall, England, is one of the finest and best-preserved examples of a circular shell keep in the country. Perched on a natural hilltop above the River Fowey, it commands sweeping views over the surrounding valley and countryside. The castle was originally established shortly after the Norman Conquest as a motte-and-bailey fortification, but the impressive stone structure seen today was built in the late 13th century by Edmund, Earl of Cornwall. It served not only as a defensive fortress but also as a comfortable and prestigious residence, reflecting the wealth and influence of its owner.
The castle's perfectly circular design is a rare and striking example of medieval military architecture. Its high curtain walls enclose a central courtyard, once surrounded by domestic buildings such as the great hall, kitchens, and private chambers. The inner layout reveals the sophistication of medieval life, blending practicality with elegance. Despite the passage of time and periods of abandonment, the stone walls and arched doorways still stand strong, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the past.
During the English Civil War, Restormel briefly regained military significance, serving as a Royalist stronghold before falling into decay. Today, managed by English Heritage, the castle is a peaceful ruin surrounded by rolling meadows and wildflowers. Visitors can walk along its ancient walls, take in panoramic views of the Cornish landscape, and imagine the days when knights, nobles, and servants filled its round courtyard with life and purpose. Restormel Castle remains a timeless symbol of Cornwall's rich medieval history and enduring charm.
