Origin and history
The Haie-Lair mansion, located in Chemeré-le-Roi in the department of Mayenne (Pays de la Loire), is a building dated from the 3rd quarter of the 17th century. This monument, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 17 August 1979, is distinguished by its facades, its roofs, as well as remarkable interior elements such as a wooden staircase with balusters and a fireplace with fog. These protections also concern the front door and the commons, stressing the architectural importance of the site.
The location of the mansion, although documented (5178 La Haie, 53340 Chemeré-le-Roi), is considered to be satisfactory a priori with an accuracy estimated at 6/10 according to the available data. No information is provided on its current accessibility, whether visitation, room rental or accommodation. The sources mention only its status as a protected monument and its architectural characteristics.
At the time of its construction in the 17th century, manor houses in Mayenne often reflected the influence of local noble or bourgeois families. These residences, less fortified than medieval castles, embodied a lifestyle focused on comfort and social representation. The Haie-Lair mansion is part of this, although the available archives do not specify its sponsor or its exact use in modern times.
