About Château de Boury
The Château de Boury is a castle located in the town of Boury-en-Vexin in the French department of Oise. The castle was built in the 17th century by the French architect François Mansart for the French nobleman Nicolas Potier de Novion, Marquis de Blancmesnil. The castle is surrounded by a moat and a French-style garden. The main building has three floors and a Mansard roof. It is built with brick and stone and features a central pavilion with a pediment and two wings. The interior of the castle is decorated with frescoes, woodwork, and stucco. During the French Revolution, the castle was seized by the state and sold to different owners. It was acquired by the French government in 1977 and restored. Today, the castle is open to visitors and houses a museum dedicated to the history of the castle and the region. In addition to its historical and architectural significance, the Château de Boury is also known for its park, which includes a French-style garden and an English-style garden. The French-style garden is composed of parterres, hedges, and fountains, while the English-style garden is more naturalistic, with winding paths and a lake.
