Château de Chaban, Protected castle in Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, France.
The stone castle contains two residential wings at right angles within an enclosed courtyard, featuring a polygonal tower with a small turret.
The castle stands on the site of a 14th-century fortress, with construction phases spanning across the 13th, 15th, and 16th centuries.
The castle bears the name of a family descended from the Counts of Poitiers and represents architectural elements from both Renaissance and Louis XIII periods.
The facades and roofs of Château de Chaban received protected status as a historical monument through a decree issued on February 17, 1972.
A separated round tower from the 13th century, originally serving as a chapel, remains as a vestige of the medieval stronghold.
