Château de Saint-Pal-de-Chalencon stands in Saint-Pal-de-Chalencon (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Pal-de-Chalencon, in the Haute-Loire department, this 15th-century château and its surrounding wall form a defensive complex still visible in the landscape. Built for the bishop of Rodez before passing to the Polignac family, it retains a period fireplace in its kitchen, a trace of daily seigneurial life. Visitors come here for the military architecture of an Auvergne village rather than for a restored interior.
