Ferme de Meslay, Medieval farm in Parçay-Meslay, France

Ferme de Meslay is a fortified monastic farm whose square-based gatehouse has a vaulted passage leading into the courtyard and an upper guardroom with a cylindrical chimney. The west facade retains a twin-light window above the porch and a blind rose window. East of the enclosure stands the 13th-century barn, its oak frame of five aisles and thirteen bays resting on stone bases.

The farm was founded around 1220 as a dependency of Marmoutier Abbey to support the monastery's agricultural needs. It sustained damage during the Hundred Years War but was later restored with rebuilt wooden structures.

The name Grange de Meslay comes from the monastic barn still standing in the inner courtyard. Since 1964 the barn has hosted an annual music festival founded by pianist Sviatoslav Richter, who opened it on 23 June 1964 with Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 2 in D minor and brought artists such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Pierre Boulez.

The farm lies about 2.5 km north of Parçay-Meslay village centre and the same distance east of Notre-Dame-d'Oé, between the D910 to the west and the A10 motorway to the east near exit 19 (Tours-Nord). The barn now serves as a concert and exhibition hall, so access depends on events; the wooden door was altered to open outward to meet safety standards.

The barn's oak roof frame, rebuilt in the 15th century after English troops burned the original during the Hundred Years' War, rests on four rows of oak posts set on stone bases, forming five aisles of thirteen bays. The main door, under a round arch and gable, was reversed to open outward for safety once the barn became a concert hall.
