These New England castles used to be private homes
Did you think castles only existed across the pond? Think again. Searles Castle, Hammond Castle, the Castle in the Clouds and Gillette Castle are just a few in New England.
Oftentimes castles are associated with royalty across the pond, but did you know there are a number of castles right here in New England on American soil?
Many of them were once private homes that are now open to the public for tours. Take a walk back in time and see who once owned some of New England’s most spectacular homes, that happen to be castles.
If you’re looking for more info about the castles’ history or tours, check out their websites here: Searles Castle, Hammond Castle, Castle in the Clouds, Gillette Castle, Castle Tucker, and Castle Hill on the Crane Estate.
