Château de Chanteloup stands in Chanteloup (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Chanteloup Castle in Manche combines two distinct periods: a mediaeval fortress from the fourteenth century and a Renaissance dwelling wing. The mediaeval structure follows an irregular polygonal plan, surrounded by moats fed by an artificial pond. The keep on the southern side and a cylindrical tower complete this defensive ensemble, while the Renaissance residence to the north displays façades enriched with Italian-influenced ornaments. It offers a rare example of the architectural transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance in Normandy.
