You’ve seen the exterior of this iconic Louisiana castle. Now take a new look inside.
You’ve probably seen the castle on Irish Bayou, and if you have eyes and a heart and a soul then you’ve almost certainly marveled at the fairy tale-esque property and imagined what it might look like inside.
Wonder no more, New Orleans.
NOLA Living Realty recently released footage from inside the beloved “Fisherman’s Castle,” featuring glimpses at its medieval-inspired kitchen, small but mighty throne room and winding staircase wrapping around one of its towers.
Though the Fisherman’s Castle has generated a lot of interest since it was listed in 2022, it has yet to find its royal family.
The property, designed to resemble a 14th-century style French chateau, was built over several years in the late 1970s and early 1980s by a local builder named Simon Villemarette, who was hoping to capitalize on the crowds that were expected to come to the city for the 1984 World’s Fair.
It’s currently undergoing renovations, according to the real estate company.
With fewer than 1,400 square feet and just two bedrooms and one bathroom, the Louisiana castle will be a cozy space for a potential new buyer. But included in the $500,000 asking price is an adjacent vacant lot and use of a fishing camp across the street, opening up the possibility for commercial uses or summer rentals.
