Building housing the Centre des études du cycle de l'or, the Musée de la Monnaie and galleries displaying period furniture.
This building, constructed between 1782 and 1787, was used as a gold tax center, a weighing and smelting facility, and later as a prison for Inconfidents. Today, it houses the Centre des études du cycle de l'or and the Musée de la Monnaie, as well as galleries displaying 18th- and 19th-century furniture and objects, and numismatic collections. A basement exhibition shows the horrific conditions under which slaves were held. Instruments of torture, such as chains and cannonballs, are on display.
