Château de La Ventrouze stands in La Ventrouze (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the Perche region of the Orne, La Ventrouze castle stands on a fortified site ringed by wide moats, a remnant of a stronghold built in the 15th century to defend the area. Two round towers still flank the entrance, where a drawbridge has given way to a stone bridge, and the manor house displays pink and brown bricks laid in a diamond pattern typical of the late 15th century. The property remains privately owned and is not open to visitors, though its protected facades, roofs and moats can be seen from the public road.
