Château de la Cour stands in Ménil-Gondouin (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Ménil-Gondouin, in the Orne department, the château de la Cour no longer stands as it was built by Antoine de Turgot: what remains are two square pavilions that once framed the façade, linked by a wall, along with the moat that enclosed the courtyard of honour. The estate also keeps its outbuildings, a dovecote, a bakery, a gatekeeper's house and a park enclosed around 1626, with its ponds and lime tree avenue. It is thus less a château than a group of remnants and dependencies bearing witness to a vanished residence.
