Châteaux de Limoëlan stands in Sévignac (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Sévignac, the Limoëlan estate actually comprises two châteaux standing 150 metres apart. Of the older one, seat of a lordship dating back to the 14th century, only a farm building surrounded by a moat remains. The second, built in 1779 by Michel Julien Alain Picot de Clorivière, forms a coherent late 18th-century ensemble with its chapel, dovecote, outbuildings and terraced garden. The site preserves the memory of the Picot de Limoëlan family, caught up in the turmoil of the Revolution.
