Château de Pomas stands in Pomas (Aude), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set on a hilltop in the Aude department, this fifteenth-century château forms a quadrangle flanked by round turrets and an older, massive square tower. The main draw is the painted ceiling on the first floor, where dozens of small decorated panels show animals, fruit and coats of arms, though many have been lost over time. The site also has a place in the Wars of Religion, having hosted truce negotiations in the late sixteenth century.
