Prieuré hospitalier de Bourganeuf, Hospital priory in Bourganeuf, France.

The priory complex includes three towers and sections of fortified walls, with the Tower of Lastic serving as accommodation for travelers and patients.

Established around 1310, the priory became the headquarters of the Auvergne language of the Knights Hospitallers in 1367, functioning until 1787.

The Saint-Jean-Baptiste church, connected to the priory, features a single vessel with four bays and lateral chapels added in the late 15th century.

The priory buildings now house the Bourganeuf town hall and cinema, with 26 medical beds distributed across nine individual rooms.

The Zizim Tower, part of the priory complex, held Ottoman prince Djem from 1486 to 1488 before his transfer to Pope Innocent VIII.
