Beyoncé and Jay Z Splurge Over $2.6M on Exquisite Historic Spanish Baroque Mansion in Vibrant New Orleans Locale

Reportedly, Beyoncé and Jay Z just paid $2.6 million for the historic La Casa de Castile estate in New Orleans’ Garden District. The property was allegedly constructed in 1925 and features Spanish Baroque architecture. The power couple is expected to throw huge Mardi Gras celebrations in their new opulent house.

In contrast, La Casa de Castile’s purchase price seems low when compared to the estimated $6.5 million that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are seeking for their French Quarter home. This material does not include information about the features and facilities of Beyoncé and Jay Z’s new home.

Welcome to La Casa de Castile: Beyonce and Jay Z are reportedly the new owners of this spacious home in New Orleans' Garden District

Historic: The 13,292-square-foot mansion was built in 1925 and was originally a church and then a ballet studio before being converted to a home 

Rich in History: Constructed in 1925, the 13,292-square-foot estate known as La Casa de Castile has an intriguing history. It was first used as a church, then changed into a dance studio, and finally became a spectacular residence.

It appears that Beyoncé, 33, and Jay Z, 45, were drawn to the opulent and spacious open floor layout of this magnificent mansion and were persuaded to make it their own.

Three separate apartments, each measuring 13,292 square feet and providing a sense of solitude and variety, are tucked away amid the opulence of Beyoncé’s massive 22-room home.

Every level of the house is graced with gorgeous hardwood floors that ooze classic beauty. Subtle touches of crimson provide an air of luxury, while elaborate chandeliers dazzle the room with their presence. An superbly restored claw-foot tub welcomes indulgence and relaxation, adding to the attraction.
