Chateau de Montbrun


 Chateau de Montbrun in France’s Aquitaine. A legend has it that Richard the Lionheart spent the last 12 days of his life there after he was wounded by an arrow during the siege of Chalus-Chabrol castle. It still has its moat filled with water, a square keep and round towers. The outlook is properly medieval. The castle was built in the 12th century by a noble man named Brun who returned from the Second Crusade. Some 300 years later it was rebuilt. It was constantly contested by the French and the English.
