Château de Beauregard, Medieval castle in Mons, France

Château de Beauregard, also called château de Villeneuve, stands in the commune of Mons. Its main block is built of rough rubble masonry in pale grey and tan with patches of whitish render. Two cylindrical towers with conical red-tiled roofs flank the range, whose windows carry bright green shutters.

The castle was built around 1470 and reflects the construction methods of that era, while the Villeneuve family maintained ownership for centuries afterward. Their long tenure shaped the current appearance of the estate.

The château is also known as château de Villeneuve, after the family that owned it for nearly 550 years. Its garden dates from the 18th century. In recent years the property passed from Patrick de Clarens to Pierre Casiraghi, son of Princess Caroline of Monaco.

The château stands in the commune of Mons in the Var, and the sources record no opening to visitors, guided tours or events. It remains a private family property, so the grounds and gardens of the 18th century can only be seen from outside. Access to the estate therefore depends on the owner's permission.

The château is also known as château de Villeneuve, after the family that owned it for nearly 550 years. Its stones are said to have come from the cathedral of Florence, and the garden dates from the 18th century.
