Belle Alliance is an Italianate and Greek Revival plantation house in Assumption Parish, Louisiana, U.S.A. It is the namesake of the unincorporated community of Belle Alliance.[2][3]
The town and the plantation are located on the east bank of Bayou Lafourche, about 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Donaldsonville and about 0.62 miles (1.00 km) northeast of Belle Rose.
During the 1770s, this 7,000-acre (28 km2) plot was granted to Don Juan Vives, a physician and military officer of the Spanish government.[4] The Belle Alliance plantation house was built by a successful sugar planter Charles Anton Kock, also owner of St. Emma Plantation around 1846.[5]
The plantation house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
