Hôtel Morin, Historical private mansion in Amboise, France
The Hôtel Morin stands in central Amboise with its Renaissance architecture, stone walls, and symmetrical windows facing the main square.
Built in the early 16th century by Pierre Morin, a treasurer for King Louis XII, the mansion later became the headquarters of Duke of Choiseul's judicial authority.
The mansion houses a museum displaying collections of artworks, tapestries, and artifacts that document the evolution of Amboise through centuries.
The museum offers free entry to visitors and organizes guided tours for groups of five or more people with advance reservations.
From 1848 to 1852, the building served as barracks for Emir Abdelkader's garrison while he remained imprisoned at Château d'Amboise.
