Name
History
During the French Revolution, the parish of Notre-Dame de Landerrouet became the commune of Landerrouet. On September 5, 1969, the commune of Landerrouet became Landerrouet-sur-Ségur.[4]
Napoleon I's armies, on their way to Spain, stopped and camped there, notably at a place called Le Tertre, located in the village of Barbes, in one of the two hamlets that, along with Rival, make up the town.
The arrival of the railway during the 19th century further contributed to the growth of the entire region, and especially that of Landerrouet; a station was built there, and the building still stands.
A rich and abundant agricultural sector persisted until the 1970s, then viticulture became intensive during the 1980s, which leveled and homogenized the landscape everywhere; today, only two or three local farmers remain in Landerrouet.

Culture and monuments
- The fortified mill called the Loubens mill spans the Dropt on the border of the communes of Loubens and Landerrouet-sur-Ségur and dates, for the most part, from the 14th century; having initially belonged to the Benedictines of the Priory of La Réole, it subsequently passed into the hands of a private miller and, now disused, is the property of a private person; it was classified as a historical monument in 2000.
- The Notre-Dame church houses a 17th century copper censer classified in 1908 as an object of historical monuments.
