Château de Beaurevoir stands in Sassenage (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Beaurevoir overlooks the village of Sassenage, in the Isère department, from a promontory visible from afar. Built in 1880 for the Grenoble industrialist Alphonse Terray, grandfather of mountaineer Lionel Terray, it replaced a 12th-century feudal castle, some of whose stones were reused in its construction. Its distinctive feature is the use of moulded cement, a material developed in Sassenage by Louis Vicat, which here mimics carved stone and timber over a metal framework. The estate also served as a location for Pascal Thomas's film Le crime est notre affaire.
