Logis de la Favrière stands in Nueil-sur-Argent (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Logis de la Favrière, built in the fourteenth century at Nueil-sur-Argent, is a fortified residence within a larger complex of farm buildings. Its principal interest lies in a late sixteenth-century Renaissance gallery, an exceptionally rare structure for the region: two storeys of Doric arcading, one open and one enclosed, frame the courtyard. A square tower housing a monumental staircase marks the junction between the main house and this gallery, complemented by a brick turret.

What to know

The building has been listed as a historical monument since 1987, protecting the main house, gallery, staircase tower, turret and fortified enclosure.
The fifteenth-century granite fireplaces preserved in the main house testify to the site's importance during the medieval period.
