En un regard
Le château en bref
In the Middle Ages, the territory of the present-day commune of Beaujeu-Saint-Vallier-Pierrejux-et-Quitteur, in Haute-Saône, was held by two families bearing the name Beaujeu, who had no fewer than three castles built there. Of this seigneurial complex, only an imposing 12th-century Romanesque keep remains today, belonging to the oldest of the three castles. This massive witness to Romanesque military architecture in Franche-Comté has survived the centuries while the other buildings disappeared. Its façades and roofs have been listed as monuments historiques since 29 November 1977. The keep is privately owned and cannot be visited, but it remains clearly visible from the outside and is the village's main heritage landmark. It should not be confused with the Beaujeu castles in the Rhône, the cradle of another famous family bearing the same name.
