Château de la Cavade stands in Polminhac (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

What the French Ministry of Culture records

De plan à peu près carré, le château possède deux tours circulaires, celle du sud-est contenant l'escalier. Trois niveaux sur cave et un étage de combles. Sa porte s'ouvre sur un perron circulaire. A la face Est du château a été ajouté au 19e siècle un bâtiment possédant une salle contenant un four qui vient en saillie, deux niveaux et un étage de comble. Sur le tympan de la porte de la tour s'inscrit l'année 1602. Il s'agit là d'une date de remaniement, un château d'époque médiévale existant à cet endroit dont témoignent certains remplois d'éléments sculptés, le départ de deux échauguettes ou encore la différence d'appareil sur les façades.
