Manoir de La Louverie, également dénommé château de Bel-Air stands in Le Crouais (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne 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.
At Le Crouais, set among woods and meadows, the manor of La Louverie, also known as the château de Bel-Air, stands with its earthen 17th-century dwelling built upon the foundations of an older structure. A carved ogee-arched doorway and a window with a Renaissance motif, likely remnants of the 16th century, bear witness to this earlier history. Inside, a wooden staircase with two straight flights connects the rooms of the house. The estate also includes two farm outbuildings and a well, surrounded by lawns and woodland.
