Château de Maison-Maugis stands in Cour-Maugis sur Huisne (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 17th century, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the 17th century on the foundations of a medieval fortress, Maison-Maugis château combines classical architecture with traces of an older past. Its rectangular stone main building is flanked by towers and turrets at the corners, while the courtyard is bordered by Louis XIV pavilions. The 13th-century cellars preserved beneath the current structure likely belonged to a priory dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Évroult.
