Château de Franquetot stands in Montsenelle (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing in the commune of Montsenelle, in the Manche department, the château de Franquetot shows a Louis XV façade flanked by two wings set at right angles, the result of several centuries of rebuilding. The left wing still holds Renaissance features and vaulted cellars dating to the 13th century, while the main block was completed between 1733 and 1737 for Marshal François de Coigny. Above the main entrance, a pediment bears the family's coat of arms, two crossed cannons recalling the marshal's baton held by two of its members. The building is mainly to be viewed from the outside, its façades and roofs being listed as historic monuments.
