The château des Chauveaux stands close to the village of Douzillac, in the Dordogne, between a departmental road and the railway line linking Coutras to Tulle. Its main structure is a dwelling flanked by two octagonal towers. The property gained some attention after its Dutch owner undertook a renovation project, later featured in a television programme broadcast in the Netherlands. The soldier Philippe Maine, who fought at Sebastopol and at Camerone, spent his final years there.
