Château de Longevialle stands in Val d'Arcomie (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 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing above the Grandval reservoir in the Cantal, Longevialle château occupies a site linked to the Hundred Years' War before taking, in the early eighteenth century, the form it still shows today. Built around a U shaped layout with a main block and two wings, it lost its two projecting pavilions when the valley was flooded for a dam, and has since been restored from the late 1970s onward. The main feature is the French style grand staircase, carried on four granite columns and fitted with a wrought iron rail, listed together with the facades and roofs as a historic monument.
