Château de Launay stands in Orbec (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Launay stands in the Orbiquet valley, between Orbec and Saint-Martin-de-Bienfaite, in Calvados. Built in the mid-19th century around older structures, it takes the shape of the fashionable chalet style of the period's leisure architecture, earning it the description of a dacha-like villa. Inside, the layout follows the classic pattern of grand 19th-century homes, with an entrance hall leading to the library, the drawing room and the staircase, the library itself featuring a painted ceiling dated 1853.
