Château Ganne stands in La Pommeraye (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 12th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Ganne castle preserves the remains of an 11th- and 12th-century stronghold, set on a hilltop in the Suisse Normande area that once overlooked the route toward Brittany. Three successive earthen enclosures, ditches and the ruins of a gate tower can still be traced, following archaeological excavations carried out in the early 2000s. The wooded site also retains traces of a residential building and a chapel where fragments of wall paintings survive.
