Châlus is a castle in commune of the same name the Haute-Vienne department in the Limousin region in western France. While besieging Châlus in 1199, Richard I of England was mortally wounded by a crossbow bolt shot by one Pierre Basile. King Richard's bowels are still preserved in the chapel here. In 1275-1280, Géraud de Maumont built a second castle in front of Châlus Chabrol, called Châlus Maulmont. This was largely dismantled in 1790, then used as prison. The tower of Châlus Maulmont collapsed in 1994. There is a medieval garden here. Other attractions of the village include a museum dedicated to the chestnut. |
