Manoir-chapelle stands in Saint-Romain-sur-Cher (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: 13th century, 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

This 13th-century structure, originally a chapel, was transformed into a private residence in the late 15th century. The manor reveals traces of both functions: the former sanctuary survives in its apse, which retains original wall paintings, while the dwelling block added against it demonstrates its residential conversion. A polygonal tower containing the entrance completes the composition, with protected features including facades, roofs, and period chimneys.
