Manoir de Clairefontaine stands in Tourgéville (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Tourgéville, the manor of Clairefontaine is chiefly notable for the chapel added to it in 1890 by architect Gustave Clausse. Behind a neo-Renaissance facade lies a refined interior decor: a terracotta medallion of Florentine origin depicting a Virgin and Child, stained glass by Vantillard, and reliefs and mosaics by Facchina. Only this chapel is listed as a historic monument, the manor itself remaining an eclectic-style private residence.
