Historic Louisiana plantation house destroyed in massive fire – Iberville, LA

A devastating fire destroyed the Louisiana’s historic Nottoway Resort, the largest antebellum mansion in the South, officials confirmed Friday.

“The fire has been contained now, but there’s no more Nottoway. The house is completely destroyed.

Iberville Parish President Chris Daigle highlighted the mansion’s historical significance of the loss.

“Nottoway was not only the largest remaining antebellum mansion in the South but also a symbol of both the grandeur and the deep complexities of our region’s past,” Daigle said.

He noted that it was built in 1859 and had been open to visitors since the ’80s.
