En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Boissezon, in the Tarn, was built in the 11th century by the Trencavel viscounts, with Raymond-Bernard Trencavel as its first lord. The Hautpoul family held it at the end of the 12th century. During the Albigensian Crusade, it sided with the Cathar cause before being conquered by Simon de Montfort in 1209, retaken by Raimond II Trencavel in 1222, then granted around 1280 to Jean de Burlas and bought back in 1313 by Pierre-Raymond de Montbrun. Occupied in turn by Protestants and Catholics during the Wars of Religion, it was set on fire and demolished. Only a bartizan survives, incorporated into the south façade of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church.
