Boussac castle was built in the 12th century by Jean 1st de Brosse, companion of Joan of Arc. It has been the scene of many historical events over the centuries and it is possible to discover all of this during guided tours, from April to September.

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.
