Château de Beaurevoir, XIX century château in Sassenage, France.
Château de Beaurevoir is a castle positioned on a cliff overlooking Grenoble and Sassenage, combining baroque features with molded cement elements throughout its design. The facade displays surfaces that recreate the appearance of intricate stonework across its entire structure.
The structure was built in 1880 by architects Chatrousse and Ricoud for industrialist Alphonse Terray. Its construction incorporated stones from a medieval fortress dating to the 12th century.
The château was a film set for Pascal Thomas's 2008 movie 'Le crime est notre affaire'. This connection to cinema draws visitors interested in locations from classic French productions.
The building remains private property and can be viewed from the outside. The best vantage point is from Ovalie Park or the Côtes de Sassenage area, where you can see it clearly.
The construction employed pioneering molded cement techniques developed by Louis Vicat in Sassenage. These innovations allowed craftspeople to create surfaces that perfectly mimic carved stone and wood details.
