Château d'Allagnat stands in Ceyssat (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At the foot of the Puy de Dôme volcano, Allagnat castle retains a 14th century keep around which later building phases were added, first in the 17th century then in the 19th. This layering of periods gives the building a composite character, somewhere between medieval austerity and eclectic taste. Its grounds, laid out as terraced formal gardens with a basin and staircase, are notable for their altitude, bordering directly onto a beech wood.
