The historic Nottoway Resort, Louisiana's largest antebellum mansion, was destroyed by fire Thursday. Ten fire departments fought the blaze at the 166-year-old landmark.

The fire that engulfed the Nottoway Plantation House on Thursday devastated the building along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Iberville Parish President Chris Daigle said on social media. Nearly a dozen fire departments from surrounding towns battled the blaze, he said. No injuries were reported.

The Nottoway Plantation House, a sprawling mansion on a former Louisiana sugar plantation, was "the South's largest remaining antebellum mansion."
