Manoir de Douville stands in Friardel (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: limite 15th century 16th century, first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Friardel, in the Calvados area of Normandy, the Douville manor combines timber framing, stone and brick across three sections built at different periods. The oldest range dates from the late 15th or early 16th century, followed by a wing from the early 17th century whose timber gable bears carved Gothic decoration. A third section, made up of a storeroom, a state room and a tower, contains an unusual Renaissance fireplace.
