Description+
The main building, flanked by two towers, overlooks a terrace. The courtyard is framed by two pavilions, one being the chapel, the other a billiard room. In 1850, two more terraced pavilions accessible from the main building were added. In addition, there are isolated buildings, outbuildings, a dovecote, probably older, and a hexagonal Chinese pavilion on the terrace.
History+
It was built in 1740 on the site of a medieval castle, of which only one tower remains. At the beginning of the 19th century, Beaumont Castle belonged to François Dalphonse, deputy of Allier, who died there on September 24, 1821.
