The beginning of the Ducal Palace is dated to 1364, but under the rule of Philip the Bold, who has built as a prince of the house of Valois his representative palace. From this time the tower de Bar was in the courtyard of the Ducal Palace. Originally conceived as a residential tower, it got its name because of the imprisonment of René I d'Anjou Duke of Bar, who until 1437 housed a prisoner of Philip the Good after the Battle of Bulgnéville 1431 in this residential tower.
