Château de Courtomer stands in Courtomer (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 17th century, third quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Located at Courtomer in the Orne department, this classically styled château was built at the end of the 18th century on the remains of a medieval fortress, whose cellars still survive. Its rectangular layout, extended by two slightly projecting pavilions, echoes the design of the Paris Hôtel de la Monnaie. Inside, visitors can see a grand staircase with an ornate rail and a marquetry floor in the smoking room. The estate also includes a former Protestant temple dating from the 17th century, a rare surviving example of a Huguenot place of worship from before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
