Château de Pontié stands in Cornebarrieu (Haute-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
In Cornebarrieu, in the Haute-Garonne region, the Château de Pontié stands on a plateau overlooking the Aussonnelle valley, at the edge of the Bouconne forest. Built of Toulouse brick, the building looks more like a large manor house than a fortress, though a few loopholes set into its two towers hint at origins as a fortified farm. A later addition, an ornamental tower, gives the facade an unexpected Tuscan touch. The estate, now used for farming and private events, is not open as a museum-style visit.
