Domaine de Lens stands in Saint-Symphorien (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century, first half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Domaine de Lens stands in Saint-Symphorien, in the Deux-Sèvres department, on a site occupied since the Middle Ages, as shown by the motte still visible in the park. The main house, built around the mid 18th century, displays a classical, symmetrical design with square corner pavilions and pedimented façades. Around it, a coherent ensemble of moats, outbuildings (including an 18th century mill) and French formal gardens laid out in twelve squares remains clearly readable. To the north, an old hornbeam walk and an English style park complete the grounds.
