Château de Beauséjour stands in Fargues-Saint-Hilaire (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Beauséjour castle, built in 1734, replaced an earlier noble house from the seventeenth century. Arranged around two courtyards, this complex of residential buildings, outhouses and farm structures follows the classic pattern of a Gironde estate. The main residence, rectangular in shape, is distinguished by a central projecting section with cut angles, topped by an attic: it is one of the finest expressions of Bordelais Rococo style.

What to know

Listed as a historical monument, the castle benefits from protection extending to the facades, roofing, interior decoration of the residence, as well as the chapel, orangery and exterior features.
Elements of architectural interest include the entrance portal with its grille, the balustrade terrace decorated with stairs and a fountain, and the adjoining orangery.
Access to the castle is via a portal framed by pillars that opens onto the main courtyard.
