Château de Beauté-sur-Marne stands in Nogent-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Nothing remains to be seen of the château de Beauté-sur-Marne, a royal residence built in the 14th century under Charles V, overlooking the Marne at Nogent-sur-Marne. Demolished as early as 1626 and finally erased when the railway was built in 1859, the site shows no visible trace today. Its interest lies in its history: a residence of Charles VI, occupied by the English during the Hundred Years' War, then given by Charles VII to Agnès Sorel, remembered as the 'lady of Beauté'.
