Musée de Dourdan

The museum occupies the Château de Dourdan, featuring multiple exhibition spaces dedicated to local history, archaeological findings, and regional artifacts.

Built in 1222 under Philippe Auguste, the fortress replaced an earlier wooden structure and incorporated regular defensive elements with round towers and royal lodgings.

The museum displays collections of medieval weapons, furniture, documents, and archaeological discoveries that illustrate the evolution of Dourdan through centuries.

Museum admission costs 5 euros for adults and 2.50 euros for reduced rates, with guided tours available every Sunday at 3 PM.

The museum building served as a royal prison from 1672 and later as a municipal detention center until 1852, when it transformed into a private residence.
