Château de Châteaubrun, Medieval castle ruins in Cuzion, France.

The castle stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the Creuse River, featuring a seven-story circular tower and remaining defensive walls.

The fortress originated between 1000 and 1150 under the Lusignan family, marking the border between the provinces of langue d'Oïl and langue d'Oc.

Writer George Sand immortalized the castle in her 1845 novel Le Péché de Monsieur Antoine, drawing inspiration from its ruins and former inhabitants.

The Eguzon Tourist Office conducts guided tours during summer months, allowing visitors to explore the architectural elements and restoration progress.

Sculptor Guy Baudat transformed the castle grounds into an open-air exhibition space, displaying bronze sculptures among medieval stone structures.
