Origin and history
The Manor House of La Frazelière, originally named Manor House of La Petite-Rabière, is a 17th-century building located in Joué-lès-Tours, Indre-et-Loire. It was listed as historical monuments on 6 March 1947. This mansion, built for Pierre de Toulieu, a doctor in Tours, reflects the typical architecture of this period, with elements such as a rectangular forebody and adorned access doors.
The estate consists of two separate entrances: a main door with four pillars supporting vases, and a second, simpler door, giving access to the commons. In 1903 the mansion was renamed the Frazelière. Since 2022, one of its outbuildings is dedicated to tourist rental, and it participates every year in European Heritage Days.
Protected features include the southeast facade, the north half of the northwest facade with its forebody, as well as the roofs and doors of the garden. The mansion thus illustrates the architectural and social evolution of the region, while remaining anchored in the local heritage.
