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

The Château d'Houetteville stands on a rise in the village, alongside the road running through the small valley. Its present appearance, with a symmetrical façade and pavilions topped with triangular pediments, results from a 20th century rebuilding, yet it conceals much older layers: an 18th century manor house raised over the remains of a medieval stronghold. Traces of this long history can still be found, including an underground chapel where a Templar cross is set into a chalk wall.
