Château de Beaulieu stands in Varennes-lès-Mâcon (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in four years from 1662 on the banks of the Saône, Beaulieu castle is a clear example of 17th century classical architecture. Its rectangular main building, flanked by two slightly projecting wings, is topped with a high hipped roof pierced with dormer windows crowned by pediments. A private property, it is not open to visitors, though its shape and mullioned-window façades can still be seen from outside.
