Manoir de la Porte stands in Les Authieux-sur-Calonne (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century, first quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The manoir de la Porte stands in the countryside of Les Authieux-sur-Calonne, in Calvados. Its timber-framed main building, dated to the late 18th century, features carved fern-pattern woodwork rarely seen in the region. An upstairs room still holds an early 19th century wallpaper, considered significant enough to receive its own separate listing from the rest of the house. Local legend links the manor to Louis de La Porte, said to have been executed for sorcery in the 18th century.
