Chaillac (French pronunciation: [ʃajak] (About this soundlisten); Limousin: Chalhac) is a commune in the Indre department in central France.

Geography[]

The commune is traversed by the river Anglin. The surrounding land is primarily clay which results in ground cracking and building shifts throughout the region.

History[]

Château de Brosse, located on the old town of Brosse, was the possession of Viscount de Brosse, who were powerful in the Middle Ages, and even had their own mint in the eleventh century.[2] However, the village was created around the castle, located in a cul-de-sac, Chaillac was never completed, especially after being destroyed by the Anglo-Poitou in 1370.[3]
