In Buxières-les-Mines, in the Allier department, the Château de la Condemine still shows the outline of a 14th century stronghold that once served as a seat of justice, first ducal then royal. Visitors enter through the former outer courtyard, crossing what was once a drawbridge, facing the defensive tower. Inside, the great hall still has its stone benches carved into the thickness of the walls, and the wing that housed the chapel retains a twin window topped with leaf-carved capitals.
