    Sometimes I post castle(-related) buildings in this comm not because I look for them but because "shitty architecture" Twitter accounts have them. For example a castle-related excrescence I posted once that looked like a low poly castle. I assumed the New Orleans castle was the same. Just another rando's dream.

    The state capital building in Baton Rouge used to be a castle actually... the south had a weird medieval Europe fixation

    That's news to me.

      I looked into this one you've posted. I think originally it was meant to be some kind of attraction for the 1984 World's Fair that was held in Louisiana that year. Can't figure out why or what purpose it served though.
