Château de Châlus-Chabrol
Château de Châlus-Chabrol, Medieval castle in Châlus, France
The castle comprises a circular keep from the 12th century and a residential building constructed between the 11th and 13th centuries.
King Richard the Lionheart met his death at this castle in 1199 when he was struck by a crossbow bolt during a siege.
The castle served as a strategic point protecting routes between Paris and Spain, as well as connecting the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.
The French Ministry of Culture designated the castle as a historical monument in 1925, though public access has been restricted since 2006.
The internal organs of King Richard the Lionheart remain interred within the castle's chapel, marking a permanent connection to English royal history.
