Château de Beaulon, Renaissance castle in Saint-Dizant-du-Gua, France

The castle features stone Gothic and Renaissance style facades with symmetrical wings and cylindrical towers topped with pillory roofs at each corner.

Built around 1480, the Château de Beaulon served as the primary residence for the Bishops of Bordeaux before becoming a protected historical monument in 1972.

The castle gardens, established in 1942, combine French formal design with English landscape elements, earning recognition from the French Ministry of Culture.

Visitors can explore the historical rooms through guided tours, with parking facilities and accessibility options available throughout the castle grounds.

The landscape park contains the Fontaines Bleues, natural springs that present an unusual bright blue color, alongside a 1740 dovecote with fifteen hundred nesting holes.
