Château d'Hémevez stands in Hémevez (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In the Cotentin peninsula, just steps from the Notre-Dame church of Hémevez, stands a manor whose history goes back to the late twelfth century, when the site was granted to the Templars. The building seen today dates mainly from the nineteenth century, built by the La Motte-Ango de Flers family over the remains of an earlier sixteenth-century château. Wars, occupation and time left their mark on its walls, before a purchase in 1982 set its restoration in motion.
