Château de Courteilles stands in Courteilles (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château de Courteilles was built in the second half of the eighteenth century and retains the vestiges of a coherent architectural ensemble. Beyond the main building, the site is distinguished by its park elements: a small temple, Richelieu pavilion, a Gothic tower and a rock tunnel testify to the period's taste for ornamental structures. The staircase leading to the terrace and the orangery complete this built heritage, designed under architect Antoine-Mathieu Le Carpentier.
