Château de Puymaret stands in Malemort (Corrèze), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Puymaret Castle stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Corrèze valley at the edge of the Brive plain. Founded in the Middle Ages, it preserves 13th-century remains: an oratory tower, a spiral staircase and traces of a chapel. Rebuilt in the 19th century following a Revolutionary fire, then partially reconstructed in the late 20th century, the castle combines medieval architecture with Troubadour style.
