Château de la Beaume stands in Le Veurdre (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 18th century, second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Château de la Beaume, built in the eighteenth century in the Allier department, underwent substantial modifications from 1852 onwards, notably an elevation of its main structure. Its interior holds particular interest: the decoration of its reception rooms dates to 1876 and bears the signature of painter Hippolyte Fauvel, whose work adorns the wallpapered drawing room, dining room and Chinese salon. The estate also includes a terraced park, outbuildings from 1758 and the remains of an earlier fortified residence.

What to know

The château has been listed as a historical monument since 1991, a designation covering the decorated interior spaces, the park, eighteenth-century outbuildings and remains of the earlier fortification.
The wall paintings and decoration of the reception rooms date from 1876 and bear witness to Victorian taste applied to a French country estate.
The property has no official website with published opening hours or admission fees; inquiries should be directed to the town hall of Le Veurdre for visiting arrangements.
