Beauvoir-en-Royans Castle, Medieval castle in Beauvoir-en-Royans, France.

The remains of Beauvoir Castle include defensive walls, a 30-meter tower and a gothic chapel positioned on the foothills of the Vercors mountains.

The castle served as the main residence of the Dauphins of Viennois from 1258 to 1350, until Humbert II transferred the Dauphiné to the French kingdom.

The Delphinal Museum, located in the former Carmelite monastery, displays collections about the history of the Dauphins and the Principality of Dauphiné.

The site is accessible from highway A49 and Saint-Marcellin train station, providing convenient access from both Grenoble and Valence.

The castle's conservation gardens maintain medieval local plant varieties in a space designed according to the principles of the Dauphin period.
