Château de Murat-la-Rabbe stands in La Monselie (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In La Monselie, in the Cantal department, the château de Murat-la-Rabbe brings together remains from several periods around a single courtyard: a medieval motte, a ruined Romanesque chapel, and an 18th-century residence built over a 15th-century keep. Two very different gateways stand out, the pointed-arch gate of the old feudal castle and the 18th-century one set into the eastern wall. The site lets visitors trace, within one perimeter, the successive building phases from the Middle Ages onward.
