Manoir à Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer stands in Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, just south of the parish church, a 16th-century gateway marks the site of a former manor house that has since vanished. Only this entrance has survived through the centuries, an isolated remnant of a dwelling of which nothing else remains. A visit therefore consists of viewing this single architectural piece within the Norman village.
