The history of Beaumont-Pied-de-Bœuf and its castles
- Prehistory – The Menhir du Perray stands in the commune; it has been listed as a historic monument since 1984.
- 1383 – Beaumont is the seat of a parish lordship, held at this date by Jean Martel with usage rights in Bercé Forest.
- 15th century – A fortress controls the Ire valley: a square block with moats and two towers, of which only the north tower survives today.
- 1489 – The lordship passes to René de Montberon, then to the lords of Mangé, until the Revolution.
- 17th century – The Manoir de la Faverie is built; it has been listed as a historic monument since 1926.
- 18th century – The Château de la Couetterie is built in the commune.
- 1926 – The medieval tower and the Manoir de la Faverie are listed as historic monuments.
- March 2017 – Bercé Forest receives the Forêt d'Exception label, the fifth in France.
The tower in the village is the last remnant of the 15th-century fortress that guarded the valley of the Ire. At its foot, old caves cut into the tufa hillside once sheltered the villagers and later supplied building stone.
The commune lies at the edge of Bercé Forest, once a royal forest set aside for naval timber. In the Middle Ages the area belonged to the counts of Anjou, and later to the Crown.
