AnswerNo. Not in Europe and 1861 was well past the middle ages. In the United States there were still slaves so in a sense there were still serfs. AnswerThe serfs of the Russian Empire were freed in 1861. There is a link below.

Which emperor decided to free the serfs?

Tsar Alexander II "freed" the serfs in 1861, which sounded well and good but they weren't truly freed. In order to provide the "freed" serfs with land to work and live on, the Russian government took land from the owners, paid them for it then turned it over to village collectives called mirs. The serfs were part of the mir and were required to repay the Russian government over a 49 year period. The "free" serfs could not leave the land until the government was fully paid. Neither the landowners nor the serfs were happy with the situation. Alexander II was later assassinated in 1881.
