Château du Jarrousset stands in La Chapelle-d'Alagnon (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the heart of the Cantal region, the château du Jarrousset is built around a square keep dating from the 15th century, extended through two later building phases that shaped its present layout enclosing a courtyard of honour. Visitors interested in architecture will find a mix of medieval windows, a Gothic doorway and later openings pierced during the Renaissance. The chapel stands out for its painted ceiling, divided into five panels depicting God the Father surrounded by the four Evangelists, with rural scenes decorating the walls.
