Who knew we had castles here in Louisiana? These are worth a weekend road trip to check out.
Layton Castle in Monroe, LA
Originally built in 1814, Layton Castle is now home to apartments and serves as a venue for special events. The grounds are absolutely stunning!
Old LA State Capitol Building in Baton Rouge, LA
Probably the most well-known building on this list, the “Castle on the River” was built in 1847. It served as state headquarters for 85 years, before it was abandoned for the new state capitol in 1932. Admission is free, and you can learn more about taking a tour on their website here.
