Château de Beaumais stands in Beaumais (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de Beaumais stands in the village of the same name in Calvados, beside a road of Roman origin. Built during the 16th and 17th centuries in limestone, it replaced an earlier medieval structure whose lords are said to have joined William the Conqueror in 1066. Its Renaissance façade, asymmetrical and lined with dormer windows topped by pediments, is best appreciated from outside, as the interior is closed to visitors.
