The Château de Châlus-Chabrol is a castle in the commune of Châlus in the Haute-Vienne département of France, dominating the town. It consists of an isolated circular keep from the 12th century and a residential building begun between the 11th and 13th centuries and enlarged in the 17th. King Richard the Lionheart died there in 1199 while besieging it, reportedly from a crossbow bolt, and his entrails are buried in the castle chapel. It has been a listed monument historique since 1925.
