The Ducal Palace of Nevers is a residence castle of the 15th and 16th centuries of counts and dukes of Nevers. In the list of 1840 it is classified as a historical monument.
Considered as the first of the Loire's castles with its wide renaissance facade surrounded by the polygon turrets, it was built on the hill overlooking the center of the old town, the Republic Square and a big park. The palace now houses the town hall.
