Château d'Aubusson, Medieval castle ruins in Aubusson, France.
The castle remains include a rectangular keep wall, adjoining fortifications, and the base of a 13th-century square tower on a rocky promontory.
The fortress, built between the 10th and 13th centuries by Aubusson Viscounts, was demolished in 1632 under Cardinal Richelieu's orders to prevent Huguenot resistance.
The stones from the demolished castle were reused to construct numerous houses in old Aubusson and the Terrade bridge, creating a physical connection to local architecture.
The ruins stand 50 meters above the Creuse River, providing visitors with views over the town of Aubusson and the surrounding landscape.
A museum operated within the castle ruins from 1885 to 1934, utilizing the historical structure as an exhibition space before its eventual demolition.
