The oldest part of the building complex was built around the 1600s, possibly even earlier. The chateau and adjacent buildings were then built during Napoleon's time, at the end of the 18th century.
In 1961, the Domaine de Beaulieu became the property of the family. Grandfather Franz, a passionate farmer from the Münsterland in Germany, purchased the estate and initiated this unusual axis. Already in the 1960s, Beaulieu invited guests to come and spend their summer in Charente.
In the 1980s, our parents developed two vacation apartments in a former workers' wing of the farm. Around 2000, the farmhouse Saint Germain was added as a rental unit, until then the family's family doctor from Münster had lifelong right of use.
In addition to renting the apartments, the family is responsible for the organic farming and the online Cognac business www.cognac-expert.com. All activities were created in order to contribute to the preservation of the historic building complex.
Since the 1960s, the Logis de Beaulieu has been a sought-after vacation spot to enjoy good food, local wine and cognac, nature and tranquility. The collage above is a 1989 guestbook entry with the slogan "If you want to escape mass tourism: The Solution."
