Château de Vierville stands in Carentan-les-Marais (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
At the end of a tree-lined drive, close to the Saint-Éloi church, the château de Vierville shows a classical façade dating from the first half of the 18th century, in the commune of Carentan-les-Marais. The main building sits on a raised ground floor and is centred on a pavilion framed by pilasters and topped with a triangular pediment. Around it stand an outer court, a court of honour flanked by two pavilions, a dovecote and an enclosed garden to the east.
