Château de Beaubois stands in Lezoux (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Beaubois Castle in Lezoux combines two building phases: a fortified house from the 14th century with a round tower, the other three towers having likely been demolished during the Revolution, and a residential wing built in 1629, flanked by two square towers. The complex underwent alterations in the 19th century when living quarters were fitted into the roof spaces. Its facades, roofing and entrance porch are listed as historic monuments.

What to know

  • The site is not open to public visitation; it is a privately owned property listed as a historic monument.
  • The fortified house dates to the 14th and 15th centuries, while the later residential wing was built in 1629.
  • The protection order of 5 February 1982 applies to the facades, roofing (except the west facade) and entrance porch.
