Château de Bazoches stands in Bazoches-au-Houlme (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Bazoches Castle stands in Bazoches-au-Houlme, in the Orne department, built around a watchtower raised around 1477. This square exterior tower, cylindrical inside, is the sole remnant of an older stronghold that was the seat of a barony partly destroyed in the 12th century. The adjoining manor house combines elements built between the 15th and 18th centuries, and the tower holds a staircase along with a small corbelled turret leading to an upper room with a late 15th century fireplace.
