Manoir des Pins stands in Saint-Pierre-sur-Erve (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 15th century, first quarter of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Manoir des Pins is a late medieval residence built between 1495 and 1515 by the Courtin family on heights overlooking the Erve valley. Composed of two building sections arranged at right angles and connected by a stair tower, it retains most of its original layout: room distribution, windows, fireplaces and stamped earthenware flooring. Seventeenth-century outbuildings and remains of its chapel complete the complex, which commands views over the surrounding landscape.

What to know

The manoir sits on a rise overlooking the valley, which involves an uphill approach.
The original spiral staircase remains in solid wood and structures the building.
The chapel is accessible only as a ruin; the outbuildings retain their original facades and roofs.
The interior features period flooring and fireplaces, plus unchanged room distribution since the 15th century.
