The Château du Boy must have been built around 1369 on the site of the “Mas del Boy”. More comfortable, it becomes, from the 16th century, the favorite residence of the lords of Tournel
It was extensively restored after the Wars of Religion, especially the inner courtyard
In 1726, the Molette de Morangiès family became the owners of Le Boy. It is a member of this family who created the terrace and the main facade on which opens the “grand salon” once richly decorated with painted woodwork that are now in the United States
In 1920 it became the property of Senator L. Bringer, who gave it to the Sisters of Providence, who took full possession of it in 1943. It became a preventorium and then a care and rest center
The castle is usually closed to the public but the Pays d’art et d’histoire Mende et Lot en Gévaudan offers guided tours according to the programme or by reservation. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
