Château de Beaufossé stands in Boitron (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Located in Orne, Beaufossé castle is a 19th-century residence that underwent two major transformations. First enlarged around 1845, it was extensively restructured between 1890 and 1892 by architect Nicolas, who added a dining room in classical style and a wing in Neo-Norman style. The property is surrounded by a landscape garden redesigned by landscape architects Henri and Achile Duchêne, who created vistas from the castle down to a horseshoe-shaped pond.

What to know

The castle and the entire estate, including farm buildings, are protected as historical monuments.
The park includes sculptural elements and a horseshoe-shaped pond, as well as the historic kitchen garden accessible via a bowling green.
