This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Bourges, To brave hearts, nothing is impossible
Built in the 16th century, this magnificent building is a fine example of early French Renaissance architecture. It was bought by Jacques Cujas in 1585, who turned it into a remarkable mansion and gave it its name. The courtyard façades feature red brick and diamond-shaped stone latticework, a hallmark of the Berry region. Today, the building is home to the Museum of Berry, the town’s first museum, opened in 1834. It houses an extensive collection of artifacts and exhibits retracing the natural and medieval history of the province.
