Hôtel Cujas, Renaissance mansion in Bourges, France.

The mansion exhibits red brick patterns and black diamond-shaped stonework across its courtyard facade, with decorative shells beneath the windows.

Built in the early 16th century for Italian merchant Durand Salvi, the mansion was later purchased by law professor Jacques Cujas in 1585.

The Berry Museum, established within the mansion in 1891, displays regional artifacts and collections that reflect the area's heritage.

The mansion stands as a protected historical monument since 1862, offering visitors direct access to Renaissance architecture and local history exhibitions.

Two distinctive turrets were added to the structure in 1565, enhancing its architectural composition with elements uncommon for residential buildings of that period.
