Manoir de la Barrée stands in Channay-sur-Lathan (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Manoir de la Barrée is a 15th-century former feudal holding, a fortified complex arranged around a courtyard. The main dwelling, a one-and-a-half-storey rectangular building, bears the characteristics of its period with a polygonal staircase tower and two defensive towers framing the entrance gate. The ensemble, still surrounded by its period moat and access bridge, retains a military and residential structure typical of Loire valley manor houses.
