Château de Ris-Chauveron, Medieval castle in Azat-le-Ris, France.
The castle features a prominent central tower surrounded by fortified walls within the rural landscape of Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
Jean de Chauveron received permission to fortify the site in 1396, establishing a strategic defensive position after purchasing the land in 1385.
The castle represents the evolution of French nobility residences, passing through several aristocratic families including the Hélie de Pompadour and Connigham lineages.
The castle stands as a testament to medieval architecture in the Haute-Vienne department, surrounded by agricultural fields and natural landscapes.
In 1782, the property sold for 202,000 livres to André-Victor Collin de La Brunerie, marking one of the largest real estate transactions in the region.
