Château de Beauvais is an eighteenth-century residence built in Limoges as a dwelling for the abbots of Saint-Martial. Constructed between 1765 and 1768 by architect Joseph Brousseau, it replaced an earlier fifteenth-century structure of which only fragments remain. The building features a centered rectangular plan organized around a central axis connecting the main salon to the dining room, with projecting pavilions on both the north and south facades.

What to know

The facades and roofing have been classified as a historic monument since 1990.
The château experienced three successive building phases from the eleventh to the eighteenth century, reflecting the changing needs of its abbatial residents.
Several elements from the fifteenth-century structure remain visible, including a fireplace in the outbuildings and sections of the original moat.
