Centre Manor Houses
Manor houses are very luxurious and often fortified Centre properties. These properties originally represented the lowest unit of territorial organisation in the feudal system.
The Centre manor house was originally an autonomous place where many different sorts of vegetables were produced. It was the big difference with chateaux, built only for defence. Manor houses did not really have a warfare goal but were completely autonomous farms.
The word 'manor house' is also used to describe large Limousin stone made farmhouses occupied by gentry, noble, and later on, bourgeois people. These traditional French houses are always made of local stones. Wood is used for furniture, the chimney, the doors, and beams are exposed. There are sometimes half-timbered walls inside the house, as part of the decoration.
A Centre Manor House is generally a gorgeous place.   |

Manor houses in Centre sometimes have a huge stone gate, entrance to a large courtyard and garden with a path leading to the house. Roofs are foremost made of tiles and steeply pitched.
Top Tip!
Many manor houses were originally partially fortified. The primary feature of the manor house is its great hall. A late 16th century transformation produced many of the smaller current Renaissance
châteaux of France.
The house normally has a minimum of two chimneys as well as
towers (in fact often being ancient
Pigeonniers) that give it even more prestige and makes it look like a chateau. Other properties have really wide windows that bring much light into the house (ideal to make a very luminous living or dining room). This type of Centre property often comes with a large piece of land, many outbuildings, a gardener’s house, and so on.
