Origin and history

Beauchesne Castle, also known as Beauchêne Castle, is an 18th-century building located in the commune of Champtocé-sur-Loire. This monument, typical of the residential architecture of its time, is part of the Ligerian landscape marked by the presence of numerous castles and seigneurial houses. Its designation as historic monuments in 1977 bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its facades and roofs, protected by ministerial decree.

The location of the castle, in the department of Maine-et-Loire, makes it an element of the Angelian heritage, region where the 18th century aristocratic constructions often reflect the influence of the Enlightenment and social transformations of the era. The castle, whose exact address is referenced in the Merimée base under the code Insee 49068, illustrates the importance of noble residences in the territorial and economic organization of Anjou.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its status as a Historic Monument without providing details about its owners or its original use. The absence of information about specific characters or events related to the castle limits the knowledge of its history to its architecture and legal protection. However, the accuracy of its location, assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (level 7), allows it to be located with relative accuracy in the local landscape.
