POI 3 Tour Image
LaLaurie Mansion
Welcome to Royal Street.
Just after the crossing, the taller building on your left is the LaLaurie Mansion, one of the most infamous homes in New Orleans.

Built in the early 1800s, the mansion was once owned by Madame Delphine LaLaurie, a wealthy socialite. In 1834, a fire at the house led authorities to discover enslaved people who had been severely abused, sparking public outrage even by the standards of the time. A mob later attacked the house, and LaLaurie fled the city without ever standing trial.

Today, the building is a private residence. While much of its reputation is shaped by legend, its documented history alone has made it one of the most talked-about locations in the French Quarter.
