Château du Tourps stands in Anneville-en-Saire (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château du Tourps stands at Anneville-en-Saire, in the northern Cotentin, on land tied to a Norman lordship said to date back to the 11th century. The present building was raised in the 18th century after the earlier feudal castle fell into ruin, its motte still visible nearby. Its classical façade, built around a central projecting bay and a triangular pediment pierced by two oculus windows, echoes the nearby château de Carneville. The estate, still privately owned, carries the memory of a family caught up in the Wars of Religion and later in local history through the 18th and 19th centuries.
