Château du Lonzat stands in Jaligny-sur-Besbre (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Jaligny-sur-Besbre, the Lonzat château presents a classical layout where the main house, outbuildings and service quarters follow the kind of clear hierarchy typical of noble estates in the Bourbonnais region. Its rear facade, marked by corner turrets added at a later stage, gives the ensemble an unusual silhouette for the area. The appeal lies in the overall balance of buildings, courtyards and gardens rather than in any single striking feature.
