Château de Courcy stands in Fontenay-sur-Mer (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Courcy stands in Fontenay-sur-Mer, in the Manche département, on an estate shaped from the 17th century onward by the Le Berceur family before passing to the Hellouin line. The main building, flanked by two short pilastered wings, is surrounded by broad water-filled moats and a formal French garden. A farm and a dovecote with a thousand nesting holes recall the estate's agricultural past, while the long avenue known as Avenue de Courcy extends the view beyond the grounds.
