Château de Beauregard, Medieval castle in Saint-Péray, France.
The Château de Beauregard is a castle in Saint-Péray featuring a central building with square pavilions and large windows. An enclosing wall with numerous defensive openings surrounds the structure, reflecting its defensive design.
Built between 1640 and 1652 by Claude Teste-Fernand de la Motte, the castle became a state prison in 1696. This role ended in 1791 with the French Revolution.
The castle became central to Saint-Péray's sparkling wine tradition after its conversion to a wine cellar in 1829. This transformation shaped how locals view the place and connected the building to the region's winemaking identity.
The castle has been publicly owned by Saint-Péray since 2020 and can be visited by the public. Access and visiting hours are managed by the municipality to ensure proper care of the site.
The basement functioned as an exercise area for prisoners and retains its original layout from that era. These underground rooms provide a window into prison life during the 17th century.
