Château de Cornusson stands in Parisot (Tarn-et-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Perched on a rocky spur above the Seye valley, Cornusson castle overlooks the landscape around Parisot, its origins going back to the medieval period. The Lavalette family rebuilt it almost entirely at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, and later generations reworked the south wing. Inside, monumental fireplaces, painted ceilings and wall paintings from the original building campaign have survived.
