Manoir de Gauciel stands in Gauciel (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Gauciel manor sits within a square enclosure dating to the thirteenth century. Long held by Jumièges Abbey from the tenth century onward, this estate preserves several structures from its past: a barn reworked in the Renaissance period, a dovecote, and sections of the gatehouse stand among the high perimeter walls. The property underwent significant changes between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, its evolution marked by the transition from monastic holdings to private agricultural use.
