Château du Boy, Medieval castle in Lanuéjols, France
The stone castle features a grand courtyard, intricate sculptures, and a main facade adorned with architectural elements from different historical periods.
Built around 1369 on the site of Mas del Boy, the castle became the residence of Tournel lords before extensive restoration following the French Wars of Religion.
The grand salon of the castle contained decorated woodwork that illustrated French aristocratic lifestyle, now preserved in collections across the United States.
Located at coordinates 44.4919, 3.56194, the castle operates as a rehabilitation center and offers guided tours through Pays d'art et d'histoire Mende et Lot.
During the 1721 plague outbreak in Gévaudan, the castle provided shelter for infected individuals, marking a significant shift from noble residence to community service.
