Château de Beaujeu stands in Beaujeu-Saint-Vallier-Pierrejux-et-Quitteur (Haute-Saône), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Beaujeu-Saint-Vallier-Pierrejux-et-Quitteur, in the Haute-Saône department, stands a Romanesque keep dating from the 12th century, the sole remaining trace of the lords of Beaujeu. This stone structure, set apart in the Franche-Comté countryside, reflects a stripped-down medieval defensive architecture with no later additions. Visitors come for the massive silhouette of the tower rather than for a cluster of buildings.
