Château de Roffiac stands in Roffiac (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument. No visits are on record for this building.
In Roffiac, in the Cantal department, stands an isolated tower dating from the 15th century, the only visible remnant of the former castle known as Belcastel. Inside, a stone spiral staircase of ninety steps once gave access to eight doors spread across several levels. At the top, the vault of the upper floor displays radiating arches resting on seven keystones, in what was likely a guard room opening onto the wall walk.
