Château de Velors stands in Beaumont-en-Véron (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de Velors stands at Beaumont-en-Véron on a terrace surrounded by a moat, away from the main Loire Valley tourist routes. Built in stone and brick in the 15th century, it retains a polygonal stair tower and an armorial doorway on its north side, while the south facade and one wing were reworked in the 18th century. A round 16th century dovecote and a 15th century corner tower complete the ensemble, whose history traces back to a medieval charter naming the estate.
