Where was The Beguiled filmed? The Plantation House and Filming Locations of the 2017 movie

The Beguiled is the story of a Union soldier who is found wounded by the girls of a boarding school in a Confederate area, during the American Civil War.

Sofia Coppola’s won the 2017 Best Director Award in Cannes, with this remake of Clint Eastwood's 1971 drama, also based on Thomas P. Cullinan’s 1966 novel.

The cast is headed by Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Colin Farrell (In Bruges, Total Recall) and Elle Fanning (Maleficent, Neon Demon).

But, where does the movie take place? The Beguiled was filmed in Louisiana, around New Orleans, although the plot is set in Virginia.

Just in case you haven't watched the movie yet, we tried to keep this post spoiler-free as much as possible.

The main location of The Beguiled is the historical Madewood Plantation House in Bayou Lafourche, near Napoleonville.

Built in 1846, the mansion hosting the Farnsworth Seminary is a perfect example of the Greek Revival style.

Also, it is possible to book a room in the property, as it works as a luxury guesthouse, so you can experience going back in time to the Old South.

Some rooms in the movie are from Madewood house, but some others like the music room and bedrooms were filmed at Coolidge House in New Orleans.

This is a large private property belonging to American actress Jennifer Coolidge.

The 2020 NBC series Council of Dads, set in Savannah, was also shot in an awesome classic plantation house.

This magnificent oak-shrouded lane was filmed in the Evergreen Plantation.

This is a very popular filming location that was already featured in productions like Django Unchained, or the AMC Tv series Into the Badlands.

The scene where one of the girls finds the wounded soldier was filmed in the gardens of New Orleans City Park.

The 2020 Troop Zero movie, taking place in the fictional town of Wiggly, Georgia, was also shot in this part of Louisiana.
