Château de Beauvais

The rectangular structure features two round towers with battlements, positioned at each end, overlooking a narrow valley near the town of Lussas.

Construction of the castle began in 1533 by the Faure La Roderie family, taking twenty years to complete on lands previously owned by the Mareuil family.

The castle exemplifies the architectural evolution of French nobility residences, incorporating defensive elements while maintaining refined living spaces for its successive owners.

The castle, listed as a historical monument since December 19, 1973, stands at coordinates 45.511667 latitude and 0.589722 longitude in the Dordogne department.

Catherine des Cars, a notable resident, influenced the castle's history through multiple marriages and eventually transferred ownership to her brother, the Marquis des Cars.
