Château de Ségur, Medieval castle ruins in Ségur-le-Château, France.

The remains of Château de Ségur stand on a rocky promontory overlooking a pronounced meander of the Auvézère River in Corrèze department.

The castle, built in the 13th century on earlier foundations, served as a stronghold for the Viscounts of Limoges during the Carolingian period.

From the 15th to 18th centuries, the castle area functioned as a royal court of appeal, drawing magistrates and nobles to the region.

The castle chapel, classified as a historical monument since 1840, underwent additional protection measures in 2005 covering its walls and grounds.

Archaeological excavations in 2019 revealed the existence of a buttressed tower that predates the 13th-century construction phase.
