Manoir de Beauregard stands in Méhers (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the early 16th century in Méhers, Sologne, this stone manor exemplifies the regional civil architecture of its era. Its rectangular plan centres on stairwells serving two large rooms per floor. The southern façade features an octagonal tower housing a spiral staircase, while a circular tower marks the centre of the northern side. Symbolic defensive elements such as machicolations and corner turrets reflect a period when the boundary between manor house and fortress remained fluid.
