Belle Grove, built in 1857, was a Louisiana plantation, and the biggest ever built. Nottoway, which is the current largest standing Antebellum-era home is over 53,000 square feet. Belle Grove was bigger. After years of abandonment, it burned down in the early 1950s.


This Minecraft house is not a 100% replica, because Belle Grove was originally pink, but I tried to keep it pretty close, up to a point. The home is built on a scale for the player, so it is not huge. The schematic includes the home and pastes from just before the steps.

Note: This build was used on a survival server, so you may find chests full of stuff, I tried to remove everything I could find.


Shader Used: Complimentary, BSL

Dude this is so cool! May I ask what resource you had to make this? I'm making this too based on a floor plan I found, but I haven't been able to find out much about it.

Thank you a lot. The resource pack is Better Vanilla Building with Optifine to ensure all textures work. Other than that, it's just vanilla.


When you Google it, specify Iberville Parish ( the county it is in) to make sure you get the right one. You can also find videos on youtube (although not many) which showcase historical photos of the plantation. You won't find basically anything after the 1950s because it burned down. On Google, after you search it up, going to images will give you a whole bunch of results. There is also a facebook group specifically about it. All in all, there isn't a whole lot of info on this place.

For the plans, I find them by Google searching "Belle Grove Iberville Parish plans". There is one from the Library of Congress which looks pretty in-depth. But I used this here: https://www.historic-structures.com/la/white_castle/belle_grove.php

Hope this helps. I built this about 2 years ago, and looking back there are some areas I could've improved. Have fun!
