The Wallpaper Museum in Mézières is an elegant late Baroque castle. He is one of the last born in the canton of Fribourg. It has existed since 2007 and was recently selected by Swiss heritage among the most beautiful history and knowledge museums in Switzerland. The castellan Frédéric-François-Victor de Diesbach, an officer in the service of France, transformed the castle, renewed the interior decor and the latest fashionable French wallpapers were installed. Very few sets of wallpapers from the end of the 18th century and from the beginning of the 19th century still in place have reached us. In this historical context, the museum also presents temporary exhibitions which focus on paper, historical and contemporary wallpapers as well as discussions on our contemporaneity.

The Boyer Tower was built in the 13th century. Shortly after, it was equipped with a complete defensive system, which made it a small castle. In the 19th century, it was acquired at auction by a Mr. Boyer who wanted to use the stones for other constructions. The city bought the building before it could carry out this project, but the Tower kept its name! The esplanade is a very nice playground for children. The Boyer Tower is a significant monument: the thickness of the walls is 3.10 m at the base and 2.60 m at the top, at 38 m!

The Boyer Tower was built in the 13th century. Shortly thereafter, it was equipped with a comprehensive defense system and almost resembled a small castle. Mr. Boyer bought it at auction in the 19th century. He wanted to use the stones to build other buildings. Before he could implement his plan, the city bought the tower back from him, although it kept its name! The Esplanade is a very nice playground for children. The Boyer Tower is an important monument: the thickness of the wall is 3.10 m at the base and 2.60 m at the top, at a height of 38 m!
