Château Colin de Belleau stands in Belleau (Meurthe-et-Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 19th century, first quarter of the 20th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Located in Manoncourt sur Seille, a hamlet of Belleau, this early 19th century château owes its present appearance to the industrialist Emile Colin, who had it rebuilt as a residence between 1920 and 1924 following damage suffered during the First World War. The architect Georges Biet, associated with the Nancy School, designed a great hall in late Gothic style, featuring a monumental fireplace. Its walls are decorated with frescoes by the painter Louis Guingot, depicting the four seasons of rural life.
