Mottes castrales du Mazaubrun stands in Châlus (Haute-Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At the place called Mazaubrun, in the town of Châlus, a group of feudal earthworks bears witness to the military occupation of the site in the Middle Ages. These man-made mounds, now covered with vegetation, form an archaeological site rather than a monumental castle. The visit will mainly interest those curious about medieval defensive structures and landscape reading.
