Château de Montialoux stands in Saint-Bauzile (Lozère), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Above the village of Montialoux, in the commune of Saint-Bauzile in Lozère, stand the ruins of a castle that once served as the seat of one of the five administrative districts of the Tournel barony. The site, now abandoned, still shows traces of an enclosing wall, a vaulted passage leading to a courtyard, and the foundations of a round tower. The interest lies less in a preserved building than in reading the remains of a medieval seat of power, set in the Valdonnez valley.
