Château de Pompignac 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 half of the 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Château de Pompignac stands in Val d'Arcomie, in the Cantal department, within the Margeride range. Built in 1342 by the Count of Armagnac, it passed a few decades later to the de Pompignac family, from whom it takes its name. Its rectangular layout flanked by two turrets, one housing a staircase and the other giving access to latrines, along with its vaulted rooms and large fireplaces, reflects 14th-century castle architecture, despite alterations made in 1790.
