Château de la Marbellière stands in Joué-lès-Tours (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Joué-lès-Tours, the château de la Marbellière is remembered above all for its monumental gateway, the only element listed as a historic monument. The estate dates back to the early 16th century, when the fief belonged to the Coningham family and later to the Rogiers, one of whose daughters was linked to Gaston de France. The present building, smaller than the original one, was rebuilt in the late 18th or early 19th century. The main feature to see is the round-arched gate, flanked by pilasters and topped with a curved pediment, its wrought-iron gates patterned with scrollwork.
