Château de Canisy is a château constructed on the site of a former castle in the commune of Canisy, in the Manche département of France. The present building was constructed some time in the 16th century. It is located about 300 km (190 mi) from Paris and 8 km (5.0 mi) from Saint-Lô, in the center of Normandy. The château is surrounded by 740 acres of forests, ponds, lakes, gardens and manicured lawns.
Members of the Kergorlay family have owned the estate for the past 1,000 years. The ownership of the château has been passed down to the oldest male heir in the family since the time it was built. At the present time, Comte Denis de Kergolay is the presiding owner of the Château de Canisy.
