The Château de Boussac is most famous for having been home to two notable figures: the novelist George Sand and the publisher Pierre Leroux. It was built around the 11th century on a site occupied since Roman times. Destroyed by the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was rebuilt in the 14th century. In 1926, a gendarmerie barracks was established in the château.
