Manoir de Guiberne stands in Vallon-sur-Gée (Sarthe), 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 16th century, first half of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The manor of Guiberne, built in the second half of the 16th century in Vallon-sur-Gée, owes its present appearance to renovations undertaken between 1645 and 1651. Expanded then with corner pavilions and outbuildings, it retains the refined architectural ornament of that period intact: leafed cornices, Ionic pilasters and carved pediments. Empty since the early 18th century, the manor has undergone no restoration since the late 19th century, thus preserving its authenticity.

What to know

The site includes the moats, bridges, access lane and former gardens: the entire platform with its ditch systems is protected as a historical monument.
The corner pavilions and terrace with its supporting wall form the major architectural elements visible from outside.
The manor has not been restored since the late 19th century, which accounts for the exceptional preservation of its 17th century features.
