Manoir des Roches stands in Bourré (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built against the hillside above Bourré, this manor house from the first half of the 16th century is marked by a projecting polygonal tower housing a stone spiral staircase, its floors underlined by moulded string courses. The tower's entrance is flanked by Renaissance pilasters and topped with carved medallions, while a wide segmental-arched carriage door leads to a passage ending in cellars hollowed out of the rock. Now privately owned, the building retains this combination of a seigneurial residence and troglodyte quarry architecture.
