Origin and history
Beuzon Castle is an emblematic building located in the commune of Écouflant, in the department of Maine-et-Loire. Built in the 16th century, it illustrates Renaissance architecture in the Angevin region. Although little documented in the available sources, its inscription as historic monuments in 1969 underscores its heritage importance, particularly for its listed chapel.
The location of the castle, near Angers, reflects the feudal and seigneurial history of Anjou. In the 16th century, this region was marked by a transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with a development of residential castles gradually replacing medieval fortresses. These monuments served as residences for the local nobles and played a central role in the social and economic organization of the surrounding territories.
Beuzon Castle fits in this context, although its specific historical details remain partially unknown.
