Manoir Renaissance, autrefois presbytère stands in Chamberet (Corrèze), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is not open to visitors.

Built in the sixteenth century in Chamberet, this manor retains the medieval structure of a rectangular main building, to which is added an off-center staircase tower. Its decoration, however, belongs fully to the early Renaissance: the turret displays superimposed pilasters drawn from the classical repertoire, while the interior reveals period fittings, including a ground-floor kitchen with its oven set into an arched fireplace.
