The Manoir de la Dixmerie is a former seigneurial estate from the 17th century, built on a platform surrounded by water-filled moats near Le Loroux-Bottereau in Loire-Atlantique. Burned by General Kléber during the Vendée War, it was completely rebuilt between 1796 and 1809 by architect François Léonard Seheult, who also designed its interior decoration. The domain retains its outbuildings, orangery and chapel, with a courtyard and garden bordered by moats.
