The Palais Jacques Cœur is a large hôtel particulier built by Jacques Cœur for himself and his family in Bourges, France. Built and decorated in the flamboyant style, it is widely viewed as one of the most prominent examples of French civilian architecture in the 15th century. Jacques Cœur, who was born in Bourges and started his career there, bought the land in 1443 from Jean Belin, a canon of the Sainte-Chapelle de Bourges . Coeur did not have time to enjoy it, however, as he was arrested in 1451, tried and subsequently exiled. Construction works were completed in 1453, at a time he was imprisoned. King Charles VII seized the property as Cœur was sentenced, but restored it to Cœur's children in 1457, after Cœur himself had died in exile the year before. More information...
