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

This 16th-century manor in Vichères combines a rectangular main building with circular towers at two corners. The structure retains its original facade, now facing the garden, featuring mullioned windows and a round-arched doorway. Inside, the architecture reflects Renaissance design principles: a dual-flight staircase divides the building, while remnants of a fortified enclosure stand before the main facade.

What to know

Fireplaces and traces of gun ports reflect the structure's evolving military purpose during the Renaissance period.
An older tower stands before the manor, likely a remnant of a fortified wall that once enclosed the entire property.
