Château de Villiers-sur-Port stands in Port-en-Bessin-Huppain (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

On the heights above Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, the former château de Villiers now takes the form of a fortified farm, born of a medieval stronghold linked to the powerful Villiers family. Visitors find a complex arranged around two courtyards, one agricultural, one seigneurial, both ringed by moats, with a manor house from the early 16th century flanked by two towers, and a 13th-century chapel converted into a stable in the mid-19th century. The architecture blends layers of time, from outbuildings possibly dating to the 12th century to windows opened in the 18th century.
