This historic landmark at the Village was built for Dorsene Castille (circa 1860) in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, by a European of whom little is known except that it took him over a year to complete.

During the Civil War the house was pillaged by Yankee soldiers, but somehow has survived the ravages of time.

The cypress mantels in the home are of interest. Each has a carved emblem on the front. The outside figure looks like a Christian fish and symbolizes a long and happy life.  The center emblem looks like a rosette and is called progression. It signifies a large and prosperous family.
