Château de Beaulieu

Château de Beaulieu is a baroque castle in Mons organized around a central corridor system connecting multiple functional spaces. The main floor includes reception areas and dining rooms overlooking the grounds, while upper levels contain private sleeping quarters.

The castle was built during the baroque period and passed into the hands of regional nobility over time. A notable resident was Count Edouard du Val de Beaulieu, whose family connections extended to European courts and military circles.

The estate reflects the lives of its former residents who moved between European noble circles. Walking through the rooms gives a sense of how the aristocracy once lived, with spaces designed for entertaining and daily aristocratic routines.

The property is currently managed by the Colruyt Group and offers interior access through its organized room layout. Plan time to explore the various floors and corridors, as the castle spans multiple levels with different functional areas.

The estate once housed a portrait of Joseph II that was presented directly to the Franeau d'Hyon family by the Austrian court. This artwork serves as a tangible link to the diplomatic and social circles that shaped life at the castle.
