Château de Labeau, château français situé à Saint-Simon
Chateau de Labeau is a manor house in Saint-Simon with a rectangular main building, a round staircase tower, and a projecting wing. The stone walls and small windows give the building a solid appearance characteristic of 18th-century construction.
The estate was a feudal holding from 1333 onward and belonged to the La Beau family, who derived their name from the property's designation. In the 18th century, the Colinet family and later the Colinet d'Aurillac family took ownership and shaped the castle into its present form.
The castle takes its name from the La Beau family, who have been connected to the estate since the 14th century. Over generations, it served as a seat of local power and was home to families who played roles in regional administration and society.
The castle is private property and not open to visitors, but the exterior can be viewed from outside. The surrounding woods and fields allow visitors to explore the landscape and understand the building's setting within the natural environment.
The building received a heritage label in 2016 and was inscribed in the inventory of protected monuments. This recognition honors its historical significance as a testament to local architecture and family legacy in the Cantal region.
