Manoir à Mentheville stands in Mentheville (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The manor of Mentheville, built at the very start of the 17th century, stands apart from the village in Seine-Maritime. One fireplace in the main building bears the date 1606 along with a puzzling monogram, « HMFH », sometimes linked to Henri IV and Marie de Médicis. The property includes a residence with notable chimneys and a separate dovecote, both reflecting rural Norman architecture of that era.
