Domaine d'Huchigny stands in Coulommiers-la-Tour (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century, first quarter of the 19th century, milieu 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Huchigny estate, in Coulommiers-la-Tour in the Loir-et-Cher department, brings together a manor house, its stables and a mill built on the Houzée stream. The place is recorded in archives as early as 1268, though the buildings seen today mainly reflect building phases from the 16th century up to 1818-1819. Its particular interest lies in the timber framing known as Philibert Delorme framing, still standing in both the manor and the stables, and in the mill, which kept its millrace and mechanism after being modernised in 1850.
