The Beast's Castle is the primary location of Disney's 1991 animated feature film Beauty and the Beast. Initially, it is the home of the Beast and his several servants, including Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip, and later becomes the home of Belle, her father, Maurice, and their horse, Philippe. It is located deep within a forest. The castle was inspired by the Chateau De Chambord in Loir-Et-Cher, France.
An enchantress places a powerful spell on the castle as punishment for the prince's arrogance and cruelty, turning the castle into a dark and mysterious fortress, eliminating its original beauty. After Belle's love for the Beast breaks the spell near the film's climax, the castle transforms back into its initial elegance and charm, along with the prince and his servants. It is located east of a provincial farming community.
There are sixty rooms in the castle altogether. The castle itself, according to Cogsworth, had utilized architecture dating back to the Baroque period (presumably Late Baroque period, since that was when France started adopting Baroque architecture). The castle is divided into two wings: the East Wing and the West Wing.
At the end of the East Wing is Belle's Room and at the end of the West Wing is Beast's Room. The West Wing contains many broken items, while the East Wing is nicely furnished by comparison. There is also a secret door in the West Wing to the former room of Forte, the large pipe organ who did not want the spell to be broken.
•The Main Foyer: The first place is seen when the castle is entered. It is where a lost Maurice first encounters Cogsworth and Lumiere, and the starting point of all the film's adventures. Maurice is ignorant to the fact that a hideous beast lurks within the castle walls because the enchanted objects only refer to him as "the master".
•The Den: This is where Maurice meets the other enchanted objects, including Mrs. Potts and Chip. All of the servants do their best to make him feel comfortable, except Cogsworth, who fears the master's anger when he finds out the castle shelters an uninvited guest. Cogsworth's fear manifests itself when an angered Beast bursts through the doors and approaches Maurice, scolding him of trespassing, and dragging him off to the dungeon where he provides him with "a place to stay". This is also the place where Belle nurses the Beast's wounds after rescuing her from the wolves in the woods. At first, he is reluctant to allow her to do this, but he realizes if he controls his temper as she suggests, he holds still and allows her to nurse his wounds, reminding them the treatment may sting a little.
•The Prison Tower: This is where the Beast gives Maurice a "place to stay" after angered by his unwanted intrusion. The next day, Belle stumbles upon the same room and meets her father, unsuspectingly guided by Lumiere and Cogsworth, and offers the Beast her place as his prisoner in return for her father's freedom. The Beast agrees, and frees her father, without letting the two share their goodbyes. At first, the Beast plans for Belle to remain in the dungeon, but after seeing her distraught and experiencing a hint of sympathy, leads her to her room. In The Enchanted Christmas, Belle is sent to the dungeon again, this time both due to her earlier disobeying her stipulation of not leaving the castle premises (to get a Christmas tree), and partly due to Forte's influence, but she is released soon after.
•The West Wing: This wing is meant for the Beast and his eyes alone. The access of all others is forbidden, specifically Belle, of which he gives her a stern warning upon her arrival, presumably to keep her out of trouble. However, Belle's curiosity and obstinacy soon gets the better of her, and she makes her way up an elegant flight of stairs and through a haunting corridor to the West Wing. Belle notices a shredded portrait of a young Prince, and soon sees the warm glow of the Beast's Enchanted Rose. Upon her attempt to stroke its soft petals, the Beast becomes aware of her presence and orders her to "Get out!". Belle's fear causes her to flee the castle in anger into the danger of the dark woods. Later, the Beast, after rescuing her, lets her back into the West Wing and shows her the Enchanted Mirror, allowing her to rescue Maurice, thus freeing her from her imprisonment in his castle. Although the Beast had forbid Belle from the West Wing, Belle can be seen going in in Belle's Magical World, and even the Beast doesn't seem angry about this.
•The East Wing: Several locations are found here, but most noticeably Belle's bedroom, which is seen only once in the entire film. After Belle is shown to her room by the Beast, accompanied by an unnoticed Lumiere and ordered to attend dinner, she encounters Mrs. Potts, Chip, as well as the Wardrobe, the first enchanted objects.
•Minor Dining Room: comparatively smaller dining room that was located near windows, and was presumably positioned in close proximity to the ballroom. This was the area where Belle first taught Beast table manners, although with some evident difficulty due to Beast struggling to avoid "chowing down" on the porridge and how to eat via spoon. He was later seen in a similar dining room for dinner just prior to their first dance in the ballroom.
The first Beast's Castle exists at Disneyland Paris as one of the miniatures in their Storybook Land Canal Boats attraction.
A second one was built at Magic Kingdom for the Fantasyland expansion, as a forced perspective "bigature" built upon a cliff. It opened late 2012 and contains the Be Our Guest Restaurant with dining rooms in the Ballroom, the Dining Room and the West Wing.
A third miniature can be found at Hong Kong Disneyland, as part of its 10th anniversary's walk through attraction Fairy Tale Forest.
The fourth and most recent miniature is at Tokyo Disneyland, built as part of its 2020 Fantasyland expansion. The first time the castle has been built to a human scale, it stands 108 feet tall and will contain the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast attraction.
•The majority of the sculptures seen in the castle are earlier versions of the Beast’s character design.
•Belle's fun fact video on the Disney Princess YouTube channel, however, erroneously claimed that the gargoyles were derived from the gargoyles of Notre Dame de Paris.
•In the 1989 screenplay for the film, the castle would have held a treasury filled with gold, just like in the original tale/1946 Jean Cocteau film. Beast would also have shown Belle the treasury.
•The ceiling fresco in Rococo in the Castle's Ballroom is reminiscent of the one seen in the Wieskirche Church in Bavaria.
•In the episode "The Perfect Word" of Belle's Magical World, it's revealed that, whilst the castle was essentially off-limits to outsiders, minimum contact and communication was maintained with the outside world, via correspondence (Witherspoon), as demonstrated with the Beast dictating a letter with an order for firewood to be delivered to the Castle. This is re-enforced in "Mrs. Potts' Party", where Cogsworth sends a letter to a friend to inquire about when the weather would change.
•In the opening scene, the first stained glass window contains a banner underneath the prince that says "Vincit qui se Vincit," which is Latin for "He conquers who conquers himself."
