Château de la Bellière stands in Champfrémont (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Champfrémont, in the Mayenne department, the château de la Bellière retains traces of a 17th-century manor that was substantially reworked around the turn of the 19th century. Visitors come mainly for the ensemble formed by the main building, its outbuildings wing and the moat that still surrounds it, set within enclosed gardens. The interior decoration, in Directoire and Empire style, reflects the alterations carried out by architect Delarue for the Vaucelles de Ravigny family.
