The castle dominates the town of Châlus. It consists today of an isolated circular keep (12th century) and a residential building constructed between the 11th and 13th centuries, enlarged in the 17th century. The castle protected the southern approach to Limoges and the north-south route between Paris and Spain, as well as the ancient east-west route linking the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Château de Chalus-Chabrol has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1925. The castle is open to visitors.
