Château des ducs de Bourbon stands in Moulins (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 14th century, fourth quarter of the 15th century). Adult admission costs 12 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Moulins, the castle of the dukes of Bourbon brings together traces of its medieval origins and a later, darker past. Built from the final quarter of the 14th century for the dukes of Bourbon, the site later served as a prison for more than two centuries, closing only in 1983. The guided tour moves through these successive layers, from ducal architecture to prison cells, including the German occupation between 1940 and 1944. The ticket also grants access to the Anne-de-Beaujeu museum, housed in a nearby Renaissance pavilion.
