Lorenzo State Historic Site is a painted brick mansion in Cazenovia, New York, built by Colonel John Lincklaen, the founder of the village. Lincklaen was the agent of the Holland Land Company and recommended that the company buy the 135,000-acre tract of land on which Cazenovia grew. The mansion was begun in 1807 and completed in 1809, and it overlooks Cazenovia Lake. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in July 1970. The grounds also hold the Rippleton Schoolhouse, which is separately listed in the register. The site is part of the list of New York State Historic Sites and is described by the state parks office.
