In 1070, Guillaume, child of Archambaud IV de Bourbon, became Seigneur of Montluçon and built there a first fortress on a castrum.

The English occupied the Castle of Montluçon from 1171 to 1188. After that invasion, Philip Augustus handed it over to the Bourbon Family. The latters transformed it into a stronghold.

The remainder of the Castle was built starting from 1370, at the heart of the Hundred Years' War, by Louis II, Duke of Bourbon.
