Château des Noyers stands in Souleuvre en Bocage (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In the former commune of Le Tourneur, now part of Souleuvre en Bocage, the ruins of the Château des Noyers still show a nineteenth century façade that survived a fire in 1984. The site owes its reputation to a series of unexplained events recorded between 1875 and 1877 by the family living there, later published in a scientific journal devoted to psychical research. The property is privately owned and usually seen only from outside, except on rare occasions when visitors are allowed in.
