Manoir de Chandemanche (également sur commune de Daumeray) stands in Morannes (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Chandemanche manor occupies the defensive position typical of the late Middle Ages, surrounded by water-filled moats. Built in the second half of the 15th century, it was enriched shortly after by a chapel commissioned by an official of King René of Anjou. This chapel preserves an interior decoration of painted woodwork, a rare testimony to the civil ornamentation of the period. The manor extends across the municipalities of Morannes and Daumeray in Maine-et-Loire.
