Bellefontaine Manor House is a building located in the commune of Villeneuve-sur-Fère, in the department of Aisne (Hauts-de-France).

In Hauts-de-France, a region marked by agricultural and artisanal history, these residences reflected the status of their owners while serving as a place for managing the surrounding lands.
