The Biltmore House

Late in 1889 George Vanderbilt had 2 prominent 19 th century designers to design and build him a castle. The project took 6 years to complete.

Richard Morris Hunt designed the French Renaissance style 4 story stone house.

Frederick Law Olmsted designed the many acres of gardens around the home.

The Biltmore Estate is still family owned to this day. It sits on a 125,000 acre estate in Asheville, N.C.

This is Mr. Biltmore’s bedroom which is said to be haunted. The castle has 34 bedrooms and 43 bathrooms. There's an indoor pool, a bowling alley. and a gym.

Gimghoul Castle

The castle is located on Gimghoul Road in Chapel Hill, NC and was originally known as Hippol Castle.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill now owns Gimghoul Castle and the surrounding land.

The castle was built in 1926 for $50,000. It resembles an 11th century English Norman castle, and the 1300 tons of stone was assembled by the best stone masons in North Carolina.

Legend has it that a UNC student who lived in the castle and vanished without a trace (alleged to have been murdered).

Castle McCulloch was built in 1832 by Charles McCulloch, a Cornish (UK) engineer – then rebuilt in the 1980s.

It was built as a gold refinery.

Since being rebuilt Castle McCulloch hosts parties, festivals, weddings, and other special events throughout the year. You can also pan for gold.

Old World European Castle

This castle sits on 33 acres of land in Monroe, NC (near Charlotte).

There is a 15-acre lake for the fishermen in the family

There are steel plates that connect the beams that were precision cut by computer for perfect fit and support.

The beams are veneer beams: rated stronger than steel. The whole house is built on these beams.

The roof’s shingles are 1-inch thick concrete tiles making it energy efficient.
