Donjon de la Boyle stands in Brezons (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Standing in the Brezons valley on the slopes of the Plomb du Cantal, this rectangular keep is the only surviving part of a fifteenth century castle built by the lords of Brezons, a family established here since the late tenth century. A three-sided turret set into the facade houses the spiral staircase leading to the three upper floors. Partly dismantled in 1628 on Richelieu's orders, the castle lost two of its three towers, though the ground floor still keeps two vaulted rooms with ribbed arches.
