History
Château de Beauregard is a secret fortified castle. Its original location certainly had a defensive role thanks to its dominant strategic position. Resting on older foundations, its single-storey construction has been dated to around 1487 thanks to a dendrochronological analysis carried out during the felling of a very old cedar, which had been blown down by a storm on the estate. This species was usually planted when large residences were built. In France, the late Middle Ages were marked by the end of the Hundred Years’ War. Although it had been over for a few decades, it was still necessary to defend against possible “coups de force”. King Louis XI died in 1483, and his young son Charles VIII “l’Affable” was crowned the following year. He reigned for only 14 years, dying accidentally in 1498. According to some writings, King Francis I slept at the château. To the south of the property, a beautiful fuye (dovecote), listed as a Historic Monument, provides information on the original size of the estate (1,300 hectares). The number of boulins, nesting boxes used to house pigeons, was proportional to the surface area of the land. In the Middle Ages, raising pigeons provided the estates with an important source of food, as well as fertiliser, a source of wealth for the lord and his people. From 1624 onwards, Beauregard was home to the Monfrebeuf family, all of whom are buried in the church of Saint Hilaire d’Asnois, and later to the Fleury family. Several members of the latter family distinguished themselves by their feats of arms or their erudition. Notably Edouard de Fleury, a talented writer and poet, friend of Lamartine and Lacordaire.
