Château de Vernassal stands in Léotoing (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Léotoing, in the Haute-Loire, the château de Vernassal shows a 17th-century façade still bearing the coats of arms of the Rochemonteix family, who already held this site before 1530. The interior, largely in ruins, hints at the building's former scale through a fireplace and a few Versailles-pattern parquet floors preserved in the north pavilion. Around the main building, vaulted stables, a square dovecote and a courtyard of honour form a coherent architectural ensemble typical of Auvergne manor houses of that period.
