Château de Boissezon

About

Boisseson Castle is a former castle in Murat-sur-Vèbre, Tarn, France. Located in the hamlet of Boisseson de Masviel, today only a ruined and preserved tower remains. It was the seigneurial castle of the community of Ancien Régime de Boisseson de Matviel, became with its four parishes (Murat, Boisseson, La Bessière and Canac) the commune of Murat, then Murat-sur-Vèbre.

The promontory on which it was built, in a loop of Rieu-Pourquié Creek, was gradually snacked to feed a lime oven used massively for the liming of agricultural meadows in the 19th century. Its ruins were used to build the department that replaced on the mountainside the historic road that remained on the heights.
