Château de Longua stands in Saint-Médard-de-Mussidan (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing on the banks of the Isle river, the Château de Longua occupies a site once inhabited in Gallo-Roman and medieval times, before being entirely rebuilt in 1818. Only the 15th century chapel survived this reconstruction, a remnant of the earlier medieval castle. The surrounding park was laid out by the Bühler brothers, well known landscape designers of the 19th century. The building has kept its original architecture without later alteration.
