Manoir de Mirebeau stands in Vivoin (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: milieu 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Mirebeau Manor, built in the mid-14th century in Vivoin in Sarthe, is a modest stone dwelling located near the Sarthe river. Formerly surrounded by partially filled moats, it retains two levels of living quarters and an adjoining bakehouse. The interior reveals an unexpected richness of painted decoration: bands of ochre red and yellow pigments, ornamental motifs on timber framing elements, and wall paintings that reflect the care taken with the interior despite the austere exterior appearance.

What to know

The manor is protected as a historic monument since 1998 but is not open to the public for guided tours or museum visits.
Located near Beaumont railway station, the building stands in rural lowlands bordering the Sarthe river.
The structure retains essential features from the 14th century, including its original timber frame and internal wall paintings that survive beneath successive layers of whitewash.
An adjoining lean-to structure houses the period bakehouse, a typical element of medieval domestic life.
