Manoir de la Fosse stands in Saint-Aubin-le-Dépeint (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: limite 16th century 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The Manoir de la Fosse sits on sloping ground in Saint-Aubin-le-Dépeint. Of probable medieval origins, it preserves structures mainly from the late 16th or early 17th century. Its complex layout, altered over time, combines a western pavilion, a low wing to the east, and a staircase tower connecting these two sections. This tower, distinguished by sculpted round openings, once led to a third wing that has since been lost.
What to know
- The western pavilion retains its original interior layout on the upper floors, including period fireplaces, load-bearing walls, and surviving original window and door frames.
- The eastern wing underwent significant changes during the 19th century, when the outbuildings were also constructed.
- The structure has been individually listed in the historic monuments register since 1996.
