Château de la Bellière stands in La Vicomté-sur-Rance (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

On the banks of the Rance river, the château de la Bellière stands with its massive granite walls pierced by irregularly placed windows, dating back to the 14th century. According to tradition, this manor was once home to Tiphaine Raguenel, the first wife of the constable Bertrand du Guesclin. The building underwent restorations in the 19th century that altered some original features, particularly the chimney stacks once described by Viollet-le-Duc. Visitors can still trace these changes today, from blocked-up openings to windows of a more modern appearance.
