Ferme du Maipas stands in Prez (Ardennes), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Prez, in the Ardennes region, the Maipas farmstead is a fortified farmhouse dating from the 16th century, now listed as a historic monument. The building retains the look of a defensive rural residence, topped by a strikingly heavy roof. Visitors come here to see an example of fortified farm architecture, away from the larger tourist castles.
