Château de Beaumont-le-Richard stands in Englesqueville-la-Percée (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

A 12th-century seigneurial building in Normandy, Beaumont-le-Richard Castle reflects Anglo-Norman medieval architecture. The site preserves the remains of a private chapel, converted to religious use in the 17th century, and ruins of a hall that hosted assemblies and receptions. Farm buildings were added during the 17th and 18th centuries.

What to know

The monument has been protected since 1919 for its chapel, Romanesque windows and architectural features; a supplementary listing in 1997 extended protection to all site remains.
The main surviving structures are the Romanesque chapel and the ruins of the communal hall, while modern farm buildings are not covered by protection.
No organised visits are documented; access should be confirmed with the town hall of Englesqueville-la-Percée.
