Château de Châlus-Chabrol stands in Châlus (Haute-Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Châlus, in the Haute-Vienne, this eleventh-century fortress stands on a rocky spur above the Tardoire valley. The site owes its renown to the events of 1199, when Richard the Lionheart, come to put down a local revolt, was mortally wounded by a crossbow bolt fired from the keep. Visitors can see the Romanesque keep, a corner tower, the remains of a castle chapel and a seventeenth-century residential wing, along with a cement effigy recalling where the king's entrails were buried.

What to know

The keep and corner tower are listed historic monuments, while the facades of the seventeenth-century wing are registered.
Access to the keep originally required climbing to a raised doorway, once reached by a removable ladder.
The site sits on a rocky outcrop, so visitors should expect some uneven ground on approach.
As no opening hours or admission fees are confirmed in our records, these should be checked before visiting.
