Logis de la Haute-Porte stands in Prinçay (Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The logis de la Haute-Porte, in Prinçay in the Vienne département, bears the marks of several centuries of change: a fortified house from the 14th century that became a manor in the 17th. The site is best known for its round 16th-century dovecote, pierced with more than a thousand nesting holes, which is the element listed as a historic monument. Visitors can also see a bread oven, a laundry room housing a large stone basin once used for washing, and a small underground passage said to have served as a refuge in times of conflict.
