An opportunity to visit the ruins of the Beaugard castle, perched on a hill at an altitude of 160 meters in La Celle-Saint-Cloud
Beauregard Castle, or Bendern Castle (name of its last owner), which can no longer be seen as the door and pediment, probably owes its construction in the sixteenth century to Jeanne de Sansac, Lady of Beauregard. Proudly piqué on a hill at 160 m altitude, it was renovated from 1623 by the following owners, the family of Val and Paris, and had the privilege of receiving the composers Jean-Baptiste Lully, then Jean-Philippe Rameau, who worked there several times. Three major proprietors, Montaigu, Boigne and Borghese succeeded between 1736 and 1827, and Elizabeth-Ann Haryett, known as «Miss Howard», eventually bought the castle, which was very damaged. She made him reconstruct in a neo-classical style of the Second Empire and expanded his terrain by adding the stud-Ebat stud and the farm of Béchevet. Restored entirely by Baron Maurice of Hirsch from 1872, Beauregard Castle became a military depot tower in 1939, annex of Fresnes prison and camp of Russian prisoners, before falling into ruins and being razed almost entirely in 1956.
