Château de Boussac stands in Boussac (Creuse), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). Adult admission costs 14 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky spur above the Petite Creuse river, Boussac castle stands on the site of a medieval stronghold rebuilt around 1400 by Jean de Brosse after its destruction by the English. Visitors come mainly for the memory of George Sand, who stayed in a second floor room on several occasions, and for the Aubusson tapestries displayed inside, ranging from the 17th century to contemporary works by Jean Lurçat or Dom Robert. The rectangular main building retains its towers, its 15th century flamboyant dormer windows and a guard room with listed fireplaces.
