Château de Beyssat stands in Maringues (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: milieu 18th century, first half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Maringues, within the Limagne plain, the château de Beyssat displays its long main building erected between 1749 and 1764. The structure illustrates the style of 18th century Auvergne manor houses, with window surrounds and corner stonework cut from Volvic stone. The interior has retained its period features, including a circular staircase topped with a polygonal dome, while the grounds, redesigned as a landscape park in the 19th century, hold notable trees.
