Château de Bois-le-Roi stands in Nailly (Yonne), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Nailly, a few kilometres from Sens, the château de Bois-le-Roi is recognisable by its irregular rectangular layout, its corner turrets and a fifteenth-century tower turned into a dovecote in 1636. Moats still surround the building, and the east facade keeps a gatehouse tower marking the site of a former drawbridge. The main interest of the place lies in its dovecote, preserved with twelve hundred nesting boxes, a revolving ladder and oak timberwork four centuries old.
