Château de Douville stands in Mandeville-en-Bessin (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Mandeville-en-Bessin, the fortified farmhouse of Douville brings together a seigneurial residence and farm buildings arranged around a square courtyard, largely dating from the 17th century. Its tower and cellars are older still, pointing to an occupation that predates the current dwelling. Having passed from Norman nobility to tenant farmers, the estate reflects both aristocratic life and the agricultural labour that shaped this part of Normandy.
