Description:
Built at the turn of the last century, the castle replicates the Norman architecture of medieval Europe, with its massive stone facade and imposing towers and turrets. Upon entering, guests are swept away by the sumptuous interior with its rich wooden embellishments, elaborate stained glass, crystal chandeliers and plastered ceilings. The castle was the dream of Howard Carroll, a well-respected newspaperman, playwright and businessman who oversaw its construction in 1910. Despite its grand scale, the Carroll family considered the castle to be their home and lived and entertained here until 1940. After leaving the family's ownership, the property served as a boy's boarding school and later, home to an investment business. In 1996, the castle was transformed into a luxury hotel, offering every modern convenience in a grand historic setting.
