Musée du château Charles VII

Mehun-sur-Yèvre · Cher · Centre-Val de Loire

The Charles VII Castle Museum, located in Mehun-sur-Yèvre in the Cher department, occupies a "keep" restored at the end of the 19th century. A major defensive site in the Yèvre valley since the 11th century, the castle was transformed at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries by Jean de Berry into an elegant country residence, becoming the privileged residence of King Charles VII, who died there in 1461. The museum offers an immersion into medieval life through archaeological collections, everyday objects, weapons, miniatures and sculptures, notably a unique collection of 14th-century floor tiles combining cobalt with the coat of arms of Duke Jean de Berry. The castle's thematic rooms allow visitors to discover the evolution of the site, from defensive fortress to princely residence, as well as mementos from the court of Charles VII and its notable figures.
