Château de Ségur stands in Ségur-le-Château (Corrèze), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). No visits are on record for this building.

Perched on a rocky spur encircled by a bend of the Auvézère river, the ruins of the Ségur castle overlook the medieval village of Ségur-le-Château, in the Corrèze department. This 13th-century stronghold, built over an earlier Carolingian-era site, served as a major seat of the viscounts of Limoges. Visitors can still make out the medieval layout dividing the lordly quarters from those of the knights, along with the remains of a 14th-century chapel.
