Origin and history

Mirebeau Manor House, located near Beaumont Station on the banks of the Sarthe River, occupied in the 18th century an area bounded by a moat-forming stream, still partially visible. In 1785, the plans described a squared ensemble with a courtyard framed by buildings, including a supply and a former leak demolished in 1776. Originally, the house, of modest dimensions, consisted of two levels: a ground floor divided into a domestic room and corridor, and a floor with a lofty room decorated with painted decorations.

The current structure preserves only the main dwelling, flanked by an appentis housing the supply. The access to the first floor, initially provided by a transverse staircase disappeared before 1771, was replaced by a rough rotating staircase. Openings, such as mutilated dormant bays, and interior decorations (red ochre rinsels, plant motifs on hurdles, shredding of the chimney hood) bear witness to its history.

The manor house, listed as Monument Historique in 1998, lost its agricultural outbuildings and its original organization, but retains architectural and decorative elements characteristic of the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. The sources mention a locational accuracy considered satisfactory (note 7/10), with an approximate address at Brejus in Vivoin (Sarthe).
