Château de Peyrelade stands in Saint-Saturnin (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Saturnin, in the Cantal department, the château de Peyrelade presents a solid stone silhouette built around a central cylindrical tower housing a solid-newel stone staircase. The building keeps a legible defensive character: a triangular pediment resting on pilasters marks the entrance, a second tower stands on the east side, and the structure rises over two floors, one vaulted, the other timber-framed. A coat of arms atop the pediment bears the date 1012, though its accuracy is questioned.
