Château de Launay stands in Val-au-Perche (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 16th century, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château de Launay, located in Orne, is an estate assembled progressively between the 16th and 19th centuries. Built around 1573-1575 on the site of a former mill and manor, it underwent complete reconstruction in the early 18th century before receiving its final modifications in 1840. The domain includes the main house, outbuildings, a wash house, a dovecote and a grain mill, arranged around a courtyard and an English-style park with a rectangular pond.

What to know

The château dates mainly from the early 18th century, though its history traces back to a mill and manor from the 16th century on the same site.
The listed ensemble includes not only the main house but also its outbuildings, the courtyard and the park with its water features.
The English-style park, laid out in the 1830s-1840s, incorporates a former mound transformed into a landscape feature.
