Château du Champ-de-la-Pierre stands in Le Champ-de-la-Pierre (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century, fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
This estate in the Orne département combines several centuries of building work: a medieval tower dating from the 14th century, a square keep added in the 15th century, a linking structure from the 16th century and a westward extension from the 17th, followed by major alterations carried out in the 18th and 19th centuries that gave the château its present form. The grounds unfold around a preromantic-style park, laid out in distinct sections around a long tree-lined avenue and a lake. This park holds the Jardin remarquable label awarded by the French Ministry of Culture. The property stands in Le Champ-de-la-Pierre, close to the church of Saint-Pierre.

What to know
- The château has been a listed historic monument since 1993, a protection that covers the facades, the roofs and a large part of the park.
- The park, awarded the Jardin remarquable label, is arranged in several distinct landscaped sequences around a long tree-lined avenue and stretches of water.
- The building seen today results from construction phases spanning the 14th to the 19th century, which explains the variety of volumes visible from outside.
- The modern sections of the adjoining farm are not covered by the protection and stand apart from the older structures.
