Château de Boissezon, Medieval castle in Murat-sur-Vèbre, France.

The fortress stands on a limestone promontory above the Rieu-Pourquié stream, featuring remaining defensive structures including a preserved tower.

The castle's origins trace back to 966, mentioned in the testament of Matfred, Viscount of Narbonne, and later became a fief of Philippe de Montfort in 1229.

Archaeological excavations at the castle site uncovered multiple skeletons and ancient artifacts, providing evidence of conflicts during the Religious Wars period.

The ruins of Château de Boissezon remain accessible for visitors interested in exploring medieval architecture and regional defense systems of southern France.

The castle's limestone foundation experienced significant alterations during 19th-century mining operations, which affected its structural integrity and current appearance.
