Château de la Motte stands in La Motte-Fouquet (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de la Motte stands in La Motte-Fouquet, in the Orne department, on the site of a former seigneury whose history goes back to the 13th century. Built in the 17th century over earlier remains, a 15th-century square tower and a 16th-century turret, the estate has kept its outbuildings, cart shed, mill and a chapel completed in 1699. A visit takes in a full rural ensemble, where the manor house and its farm buildings sit close together, a short walk from the Saint-Symphorien church.
