At the end of the 18th century, the municipality of Lasbouigues was incorporated. From 1801 onwards, the municipality was called Bagat et Lasbonygnes for a certain time, followed by Bagat and, since 1975, the current name of Bagat-en-Quercy.

Attractions
Parish Church of Saint-Pierre
The masonry on the south side of the nave consists of small rubble stones and belongs to the original building, which can be dated to the Middle Ages without being able to further limit the period. The architecture and the decoration of the north side chapel allow its construction to be dated to the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century. However, the walls of the entrance arch have been redesigned, as these do not appear older than from the 17th century. The trimmed branches that adorn the arches of the two chapels give an indication of a similar design. According to Pastor Clary (1986), the nave was extended between 1820 and 1886. Its current groin vault dates from this time, as does that of the southern side chapel. The northern chapel has kept its ribbed vault with lierns and animal ceramics . The vestibule and the neo-medieval bell tower above the first yoke on the south side of the nave could have been built around 1896 at the same time as the sacristy . The single-nave nave has a length of three bays and is closed off by a flat apse . The two side chapels open to the choir . The keystone of the central vault in the northern chapel bears the symbol of the Holy Spirit .
Church Saint-Jacques in Lasbouygues
The date of its creation is unknown. It has a bell tower that protrudes from the facade. A vestibule with a triangular gable and an ogival entrance portal is built in front of it. The walls of the vestibule, the facade and the arms of the transept are reinforced by protruding buttresses . An oculus lets light fall into the interior between the buttresses of the facade . Two protruding buttresses also reinforce the side walls of the nave, which is illuminated through ogival windows.
Saint-Jacques Chapel in Lasbouygues
It could be a holdover from the former parish church that was dedicated to James the Elder . Today's cemetery chapel is a new building, probably from the 17th century on the foundations of an earlier building, which presumably included the large arch on the north side. A wedge is built into the masonry for reuse. The single nave nave is equipped with a groined vault on the inside. The glass window on the south side is marked “A. Creunier, 1983 “signed.
Folmont Castle
A Folmont tower has been mentioned since the 13th century and the associated fief already belonged to the de Raymond family. Apart from perhaps a wall surface and stones that were reused in a later building project, nothing can be seen of this tower. The oldest part of the residential wing of the castle, which is crowned by machikuli , probably dates from the second half of the 15th century, as evidenced by the ornamentation of a fragment of a fireplace with a coat of arms of the Raymond family. In the same century, Pierre des Raymond hosted the French King Charles VII. From 1473 to 1487 he held the office of Seneschal of Quercy. His son Jean became the king's bread master . Antoine de Raymond is mentioned in the records as Seigneur von Falmont in the mid-16th century. With loopholes reinforced towers date from the same period. When Jeanne de Raymond married Antoine de Reilhac, the seigneurie changed to his family, who already owned the Lolmie fief . The successor Anne married Jean de Testas in 1627 and established the line of the Testas de Falmont family for the next two centuries.
In the 18th century, the residential wing was completely redesigned and a side wing was probably added in an L-shape at the same time. The year "1754" above the entrance portal should be assigned to this construction activity. At the beginning of the French Revolution in 1790, the castle was looted and set on fire for three days. Antoine de Folmont was imprisoned in Cahors and died there. The castle came to the Ginestet family through a marriage, and they kept it until 1984. Undoubtedly in the 19th century, extensive restoration work was carried out. A fountain bowl in the courtyard, the origin of which is unknown, probably dates from the 16th or 17th century.
An entrance portal next to the castle chapel with a ribbed vault allows entry into the three-story building. A second entrance portal closes off the inner courtyard to the west. An angular tower, half protruding from the facade, conceals a spiral staircase that leads to the upper floor. On the north side, the facade is accentuated by an analogous risalit . The residential wing has been enlarged to the east. The facades show numerous traces of alterations. Most of the windows are as they were in the middle of the 18th century. The side wing ends on a round tower with cross notches, which was built from small rubble stones made of limestone . A terrace is built on the courtyard side at the level of the first floor and rests on arched arcades. Today the castle is privately owned and not open to the public.
Manor house in Lasbouygues
The shape of the entrances and the traces of earlier twin windows suggest that the building was constructed in the 13th century. The lattice windows show a renovation that was probably carried out in the second half of the 15th century. The house was inhabited by the younger branch of the Guiscard family until at least the 16th century. Blaise de Guiscard et de Penne was seigneur before 1451 and Pons Guiscard became noble in 1504.
The building is largely made of ashlar. A basement fills the height difference in the south on the sloping location. On this side, three openings on the first floor let light into the house on both floors, as well as three windows on the second floor, showing traces of their successive nature. Two of them show frames with crossed bar strips, while a trace of an arch above the lintel of the left window could indicate an earlier twin window. On the north side there are two ogival entrances of different sizes, and in the middle there is a sign of an earlier third door. On the east side there is a single medieval window near the south-east corner. The western facade, however, has only one modern window.
