Château dit manoir Saint-Calais stands in Louversey (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Louversey, in the Eure department, the Saint-Calais manor is a former hunting lodge built of brick and stone in the mid 17th century for Jean Martel, a lieutenant at the Évreux bailiwick. The main interest lies less in the house itself, altered repeatedly since the 18th century, than in its entrance gate and the long tree-lined avenue behind it, laid out with an exaggerated perspective effect. The estate passed through several owners, including the Martel family until 1812, before being restored again in the 20th and 21st centuries.
