In Ferrières-sur-Sichon, in the Allier department, the château du Bourg still holds a square 16th century keep flanked by a round tower housing a spiral staircase. The building was largely reworked in 1850 by colonel Louis-Guillaume Le Jeans, whose family coat of arms still tops the main entrance. This keep is the birthplace, in 1526, of François de La Tour d'Auvergne, grandfather of the future marshal Turenne.
