Thanks so much for the comments. Here is a page about the castle. Its kind of long, but there is a great story behind this place so its worth the read!

Thanks for sharing this! I never was fond of history in school, but now I love historic things, especially American historic places! Thank you again!

I know exactly what you mean, Judy! I hated history in school, but now stuff like this amazes me!

very cool looking place. it amazes me how masonry exterior walls remain erect without the framing that provides lateral support.

thanks for sharing.

It is a shame to see so much history going to waste. Great photos.
