Boële château, built in the 17th century near La Ferté-en-Ouche, traces the evolution of aristocratic architecture between the Louis XIII period and the 18th century. Its central block displays the refined restraint typical of the era, with alternating stone and brick facing, while two wings added around 1738 strengthen its symmetrical design through brick courses.
