Château de Tilly-sur-Seulles stands in Tilly-sur-Seulles (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In Tilly-sur-Seulles, in the Calvados department, almost nothing remains standing of the château. The eighteenth-century mansion, built for the intendant Orceau de Fontette with a central block flanked by pavilions and curved wings, vanished gradually: partly torn down in the nineteenth century, then finally destroyed during the fighting of 1944. Anyone drawn by local history will find scattered remnants rather than a building to walk through.
