Château de Beauregard stands in Mareuil en Périgord (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Beauregard Castle was rebuilt in the late 15th century on older foundations, occupying a site in Périgord with a history dating back at least to the Middle Ages. Its defensive architecture still characterizes the landscape today: two massive crenellated towers frame the main building, complemented by a third tower to the north. In the 18th century, a chartreuse was added to the castle, adapting to its L-shaped layout.
