Manoir du Grand Taute stands in Saint-Sauveur-Lendelin (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Near Saint-Sauveur-Lendelin, this fortified manor house dating from the late 16th century has survived largely unaltered. Its defensive character remains visible in the gun loops, interior machicolations and barred cellar windows, legacies of the Wars of Religion. Around the main dwelling, with its two stair towers, stand an old cider press, a stable with its original paving, a barn and a separate bakehouse, set beside a pond and former moat.
