Château de la Poujade stands in Urval (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de la Poujade, in Urval, Dordogne, is an 18th-century chartreuse, a single-storey manor house extended by farm outbuildings and vaulted terraces. Its layout, rooms arranged in a row on the ground floor, follows the pattern typical of these Périgord residences, and its origins are linked to former monastic settlements. During the Second World War, the estate housed a Resistance headquarters and served as a storage site for works from national museums. Today a private property, it is mainly accessible through stays organised on site.
