Château de Gannes stands in L'Hôme-Chamondot (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Near the Motte farm, away from the village of L'Hôme-Chamondot, stand the remains of a medieval keep destroyed in 1428 during the Hundred Years' War. All that survives is the base of a rectangular tower measuring fifteen by twenty metres, whose flint walls, over two metres thick, still rise some ten metres high on the eastern side. A trace of a spiral staircase that once led to the upper floor, the original entrance to the keep, can still be seen.
