Château de Beauvoir, Medieval castle in Saint-Pourçain-sur-Besbre, France
The Château de Beauvoir stands on a hilltop with an L-shaped layout featuring three round corner towers and a square watchtower connecting two main buildings.
Built in the 13th century for the Breschard family, the castle was recaptured from English forces by Duke Louis II of Bourbon following an eleven-day siege in 1369.
The castle grounds include French-style gardens designed in 1928 by landscape architect Joseph Treyve, presenting formal arrangements of plants and pathways.
The gardens remain open to visitors throughout the year, with operating hours from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM during summer and 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM in winter.
Gallo-Roman terracotta figurines discovered at the site during the 19th century are now preserved in the diocesan repository of Allier.
