Two kilometres from Laguiole, the château de la Boissonnade is a fortified manor whose origins trace back to the 12th century, later altered in the 15th and 19th centuries. The building is recognisable by its square keep topped with machicolations, joined to a rectangular main dwelling and a round stair tower. This defensive silhouette, first recorded in 1437, gives a fairly legible example of castle architecture in the Aveyron region.
