Belle Mont Mansion

Belle Mont Mansion Belle Mont Mansion is a historic house museum open for guided tours.

Belle Mont Mansion was built circa 1828 for Dr. Alexander Mitchell, who sold the plantation to Isaac Winston in 1835. The home is one of the outstanding Palladian or “Jefferson-style” houses in the Deep South, boasting high-quality brickwork with contrasting wood trim and a reverence for the neoclassical architectural ideas of the Italian Renaissance architect, Andrea Palladio. Belle Mont features

a raised two-story central section with flanking one-story wings that project to the rear to embrace a courtyard. Rescued from ruin in the 1980s, a long-term, phased restoration by the Alabama Historical Commission is presently underway so that Belle Mont's history, beauty and architecture may be preserved for the enjoyment of future generations.
