Prefecture hotel of Cher, Historical administrative building in central Bourges, France.

The main prefecture building displays a solid construction with medieval architectural features and mullioned windows across multiple levels.

The palace, rebuilt in the late 14th century by Guy de Dammartin, initially served as residence for Duke Jean de Berry before becoming crown property.

The interior halls maintain wall decorations and coffered ceilings that demonstrate the architectural refinement of medieval French period.

The prefecture houses departmental administrative services Monday through Friday and requires identification for entry.

The Duke Jean room, converted into council headquarters, retains traces of the original medieval floor heating system.
