Beauvoir
Château de La Roue All that remains of this château is part of the enclosure wall and the square tower visible from the village. This keep, known as the “Tour de Pierrefort” in tribute to the last lord of the estate, “Hérail de Pierrefort La Roue”, dates from the 14th century and was restored in the 19th century. The original building probably dates back to the 13th century. It was then a powerful feudal château, forming part of the ring of fortifications around the county of Forez. From an early date it belonged to the La Roue family, known since the 12th century, who dominated the Ance valley from their three châteaux: La Roue, Montpeloux and La Chaulme.
