Irish Bayou Castle

Fisherman's Castle, sometimes known as Irish Bayou Castle is a 942 square foot castle built on Irish Bayou in New Orleans near Slidell, Louisiana. Simon Villemarette built the castle in the style of a 14th-century chateau in 1981 in anticipation of the 1984 World's Fair, and it was strong enough to survive both hurricanes Katrina, Isaac and Ida, although it required repairs following Katrina.[1] Charles and Jean Kuhl bought the castle in 1995 and sold it in 2014.[2][3]
