Beauregard Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Beauregard Castle is located in the commune of Publy, in the Jura, at an altitude of 660 metres. Built for the lords of Coligny, probably in the 10th century, it is mentioned in a papal bull at the beginning of the 12th century. Owned by the de Monnet family in the 13th and 14th centuries, then recorded in 1331 alongside Odon and Robert de Beauregard, it is described as "in ruins" at the beginning of the 15th century, when it is brought as a dowry by Guigone de Salins. Taken and dismantled by the troops of Louis XI around 1479, opened to the troops of Henry IV in 1595, it was finally demolished on the orders of Louis XIV in 1668. Bought back in 1726 by the Vernier de Blesney family, it passed in 1732 to the Blandin de Chalain family, who kept it until the Revolution.
