Château de Châlus Maulmont
Château de Châlus Maulmont, Medieval castle in Châlus, France
The castle structure features a quadrilateral design measuring 36 meters by 13.60 meters with two prominent towers on the eastern side.
Constructed between 1265 and 1270 by Géraud de Maulmont, counselor to Viscountess Marguerite de Bourgogne, the castle served as both residence and fortress.
The fortress obtained classification as a historical monument in 1981, preserving its remaining structures as a testament to 13th-century military architecture.
Located along the Richard the Lionheart route, visitors can find the castle ruins at 16 Rue Gourdon in Châlus, approximately 36 kilometers southwest of Limoges.
In 1994, one of the castle towers collapsed unexpectedly, burying several nearby buildings and vehicles without causing any injuries.
