Château de Pomay stands in Lusigny (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built between 1637 and 1645 for François de La Croix, the Château de Pomay stands in Lusigny, in the Allier department, at the end of a long drive closed by an 18th century gate. Its main courtyard is framed by two brick towers topped with octagonal lanterns, leading to a central block flanked by two pavilions. The house still shows the small tiles and polychrome brick typical of the Bourbonnais Sologne, and recalls a visit by Madame de Sévigné, who called on the family of Nicolas Fouquet during their exile there.
