Château de Châlus-Chabrol

Châlus-Chabrol is a castle at Châlus in the Limousin, in west-central France. In March 1199 Richard the Lionheart, besieging it during a dispute with the viscount of Limoges, was struck in the shoulder by a crossbow bolt and died of the wound on 6 April. The castle, with its round keep of the twelfth century, survives.
