Origin and history

Le logis de Beauregard is a house located in the commune of Longué-Jumelles, Maine-et-Loire, in the Pays de la Loire region. The building is mainly dating from the 16th century and illustrates the residential architecture of this period, with subsequent additions to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The central body, characteristic of the first half of the sixteenth century, was inscribed as historical monuments in 1992, highlighting its heritage importance.

The left part of the house dates back to the 17th century, while an adjacent stable was added in the 18th century, and another barn with remise in the 19th century. These extensions reflect the changing agricultural and residential needs of the region. The site is referenced in the Mérimée base, with an approximate location at address 9001 Beauregard, 49160 Longue-Jumelles.

In the 16th century, the Anjou region, of which Longué-Jumelles is part, was marked by a rural economy and seigneurial or bourgeois constructions. Homes of that time often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables, while sometimes integrating agricultural outbuildings. This type of building reflects the lifestyles and social organization of the time, where agriculture and land management played a central role.
