Château de Louvagny stands in Louvagny (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 17th century, first quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Set within a walled park of about a hundred hectares, the château de Louvagny stands on the site of a medieval stronghold, of which a round tower still survives. Most of the present building dates from the second half of the 17th century, after Louis XIV granted permission for its construction in 1651, with further additions in the following century. The park also holds a Romanesque doorway, salvaged from the former church of Pont after its demolition.
