The Old Louisiana State Capitol, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a striking example of Gothic Revival architecture. Often referred to as the "Castle on the River," this historic building served as the state capitol from the mid-19th century until the current capitol building was completed in the 1930s. Designed by architect James H. Dakin, it features a distinctive castle-like facade with crenellated battlements and stained glass windows. The interior includes a grand spiral staircase and a stunning stained glass dome. Today, the Old State Capitol functions as a museum, offering exhibits on Louisiana’s political history and the building's own storied past.
