Château de Guernon-Ranville stands in Ranville (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Château de Guernon-Ranville stands in Ranville, in Calvados, a private estate built in the eighteenth century and long associated with the Norman family whose name it bears. Its history is eventful: home to a government minister in the nineteenth century, a retreat for a patron of the Impressionists in the early twentieth century, then a wartime infirmary during the 1944 Normandy landings. The façade, altered by Count Martial de Guernon-Ranville, still reflects these successive chapters.
