An absolute disgrace

The main gate just off the road is an indication of what to expect. On one side if the gate the wall has crumbled away to be replaced by a tatty piece of board. The castle grounds resemble a dump! There was a music concert...More

Fabulous Gothic Castle

Spent the night there recently with the BACK IN TIME Paranormal Investigators, absolutely amazing night of paranormal activity. The castle itself is truly beautiful and filled with an abundance of 'spirits'!

Great tour

Our tour guide Joseph was very personable and you could tell he loved the castle. The castle was beautiful. We parked at the end of the lane and walked along the path in the woods back to the castle which I recommend.

Thank Brandi R

On behalf of Joseph and all the volunteers - I thank you for the positive encouragement - it means a lot - now this is your castle too - safe travels
