Château de Beauregard, Historical castle in Longvic, France.
Château de Beauregard is a castle in Longvic with two-story facades marked by elongated windows on the ground floor and square openings on the upper level. The structure is anchored by two towers positioned at the sides of the main building.
The Beauregard site first appears in the early 17th century as a seigneurial house with a farm at a place called le Coron. During the following century it became the summer residence of the bishops of Dijon, who had a castle built there. It was quickly resold as a national asset during the Revolution, the Coron farm was separated from it, and part of the castle was destroyed in the 19th century.
The château's name, Beauregard, means "beautiful view" in French, a common name for estates on rising ground. The site began as a seigneurial house with a farm called le Coron in the early 17th century; the farm was separated from the château during the Revolution. Since 2019 the domain has been converted into an Ibis hotel by Pascal and Franck Boisselier.
The château stands south of Longvic, east of the A 311, and is separated from the Coron farm by the RD 122A to the north. It now operates as an Ibis hotel, so access is for guests rather than as a visitor attraction. The Fort de Beauregard, listed as a monument historique since 2006, is immediately to the south.
The two turrets flanking the main building do not project as full towers: they only create a slight setback in the roof covering. The circular dormer with a cross-shaped opening above the central bay is easy to miss from the gravel path. The Fort de Beauregard, immediately to the south, has been listed as a monument historique since 2006.
