Manoir de la Belle Jonchère stands in Veigné (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: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The manor of Belle Jonchère stands in Veigné, on the edge of the Taffonneau stream valley, built as a fortified gentleman's house in the 16th century. Its two perpendicular wings are flanked by round towers, including a former dovecote pierced with sixteen hundred nesting holes. The courtyard of honour, closed off around 1670 by a gatehouse pavilion with a Mansard roof, completes an estate that remained a working farm for centuries before becoming an inhabited residence at the end of the 20th century.
