Château de Boussac, Medieval castle in Boussac, France
The rectangular castle structure includes a round tower, two square towers, and a three-sided stair turret overlooking the Petite Creuse River.
Built in the 12th century, the castle underwent destruction during the Hundred Years War before Marshal Jean de Brosse rebuilt it around 1400.
Writer George Sand discovered the famous Lady of the Unicorn tapestries at the castle, which are now displayed at the Medieval Museum in Paris.
The castle opens for guided tours from Easter to autumn, with visits available at other times through advance reservations by phone or email.
The guard room contains two monumental fireplaces from different periods, which received protection status as historical objects in May 1927.
