Castle of the dukes of Bourbon, Medieval castle in Moulins, France
The castle features a prominent square tower known as Mal-Coiffée, which stands as the main remnant of the medieval fortification structure.
Originally constructed in the 14th century by Louis II, Duke of Bourbon, the castle served as the primary residence of the powerful Bourbon dynasty.
The Anne de Beaujeu pavilion within the castle now functions as the departmental museum of art and archaeology, displaying regional artifacts.
The castle offers guided tours at 5 euros for adults and 3 euros for visitors aged 17 to 25, with free entry for children under 17.
During World War II, the Mal-Coiffée tower operated as a German prison, holding thousands of Jewish people and resistance fighters.
