Château de Beauverger

Chateau de Beauverger is a castle in Saulzet with a rectangular main building and four round corner towers plus a central spiral staircase turret on the facade. The structure preserves details like arrow slits, crenellations, and Gothic windows that show its medieval construction.

The castle began in the 13th century and was completed in the 15th century by Merlin de Cordebeuf, with major renovations occurring in the 19th century. These building phases show how it evolved over centuries as needs and styles changed.

The castle mixes military features with residential comfort, as shown by its arrow slits and Gothic windows with ornate moldings. This blend of fortress and manor house reflects what noble families needed in this region during those centuries.

The castle sits in the Allier department and is reached via the D27 road through several access routes. Since it operates as a private residence with guest accommodations, visiting requires advance arrangement with the owners.

Inside the castle are two differently sized halls on each floor, connected by a spiral staircase with ancient latrines in the corridor. These practical details reveal how residents actually lived and what comfort meant in a medieval fortress.
