Château de Beaumont, Medieval fortress in Beaumont, France
The rectangular stone keep of Château de Beaumont stands with buttresses reaching 25 meters in height and 5 meters in width, dominating the landscape.
Built around the year 1000, the castle faced multiple conflicts between the Count of Maine and the Duke of Normandy during the period 1062-1064.
The castle represents early French medieval military architecture with its stone rectangular design, setting standards for fortification construction in the region.
The castle grounds remain accessible for visitors who can examine the preserved walls and foundations that underwent restoration work in 1997.
The fortress served as a strategic observation post during World War II when German forces occupied the structure in June 1940.
