The Colimaçon Manor, built in 1919 on the site of a former agricultural structure, reflects the rich rural past of the region. The adjacent farm now stands as the last remnant of this past, contrasting with the manor’s majestic aura.
Located in the heart of the countryside south of Melun (77), near a farm and a forested area, the manor proudly stands along the Southeast TGV line. According to local rumors, it is now owned by an Iranian businessman who has been based in the United States since the 1970s.
The manor, impressively large, houses no fewer than 26 rooms, including at least 4 bathrooms, 2 shower rooms, and potentially a sauna on the top floor. Additionally, a significant number of rooms remain unidentified, adding to its mystery and charm.
Built in an Art Nouveau style, the Colimaçon manor stands out with its unique shapes that evoke the atmosphere of horror films. The red bricks, multiple slate roofs, and awnings give the whole a remarkable Gothic appearance, creating a definite sense of disorientation for any visitor.
In a bygone era, the manor also included a water tower, now gone but leaving behind a trace of its former grandeur.
