Château de la Tuilerie stands in Cauverville-en-Roumois (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built between 1773 and 1789 in Normandy, this neoclassical château was commissioned by Louis Chef-d'Hostel, a Rouen merchant whose Protestant family had settled in the Roumois region after exile.

Interior decoration remains unchanged: the dining room displays trompe-l'oeil panels signed by Bouël, ironwork by Frérot, and ornaments by Le Sueur Le Jeune.
