Château de Bellegarde (Loiret)

The Château de Bellegarde, also known as the Château des l'Hospital, is a château in the commune of Bellegarde, Loiret, Centre-Val de Loire, France. The alternative name is from the de l'Hospital family, owners in the 16th and 17th centuries.[1] The structure dates originally from the 14th century,[1] although there are traces of 12th-century work,[2] but has been repeatedly remodelled by successive owners.[1]

Not to be confused with Château de l'Hospital, Château de Bellegarde (Lamonzie-Montastruc), or Château Bellegarde.
