The de Longchamps point is the reflection of the orthocenter
about the circumcenter
of a triangle.
It has triangle center function
(1)

and is Kimberling center (Kimberling 1998, p. 70).
As a result of its definition, the de Longchamps point is collinear with the orthocenter and circumcenter
of a triangle.
Distances to some other named triangle centers include

where
is the triangle centroid,
is the circumcenter,
is the orthocenter,
is the Gergonne point,
is the orthocenter,
is the incenter,
is the nine-point center,
and
is the incenter.
The de Longchamps point is also the orthocenter of the anticomplementary triangle.
The Soddy line intersects the Euler line in the de Longchamps point (Oldknow 1996).
The de Longchamps point and Kimberling center (intersection
of the Gergonne line
and orthic axis) form a diameter
of the GEOS circle.
