Le château en bref
The manor house of Boisé, in the locality known as Grand Boisé in Velles (Indre), succeeds a fortified house that was damaged several times by the English during the Hundred Years' War. The present building was begun around 1540 by Philippe III de Boisé, but work was halted by his death. It has a tall main body with a west gable decorated with rare Berrichon roof crockets, a round tower with a conical tiled roof, and two low wings added later, with Gothic windows and doorways that bear traces of mullions. It is privately owned and not open to visitors.
