Château de La Martinie stands in Segonzac (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set on the ridge separating the Dronne and Isle valleys, the château de la Martinie stands with its four square corner towers topped with machicolations, enclosing what was once a fortified courtyard. Built by the La Faye family in the late 16th century around an older core, it later gained a covered arcaded gallery in the 17th century. Visitors can still trace the outline of a medieval stronghold, though the east and west curtain walls have vanished, and a 14th century chapel remains tucked into one of the towers.
