Manoir Le Châtelet stands in Fontaine-Milon (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, first quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Overlooking the village of Fontaine-Milon, this 16th-century manor combines a main residence flanked by two stout towers topped with pepperpot roofs, with an interior decor added much later, in 1806. The main interest for visitors lies in a detail of art history: among the stucco sculptures made that year by the Angers ornamentalist Pierre-Louis David is a relief modelled by his son, then a beginner, who would later become the famous sculptor David d'Angers. The courtyard also retains a former dovecote tower, and the kitchen garden its pavilion, the whole enclosed by walls with wrought-iron gates.
