My husband and I went to Loveland, Ohio today to see a real castle built by hand by one guy (allegedly by a French knight, but that turns out to be more legend it seems). Here are a few of my favorite photos from the tour. First, the castle itself:
Me, trying to look regal sitting in the throne chair, but instead doing a good giraffe impression:
Me in black and white, dancing on the top of the turret:
The cute, soft little buddy I found:
We had fun, but now I’m worn out!

One question Maranda Who actually built the castle then ?

It was a guy that was part of a “knights” fraternity, but since France didn’t grant real knighthood after the revolution, they weren’t “real” knights…or something like that lol.

Sounds very intriguing though. The castle looks stunning which must have taken a long time to build. Thanks for the reply Maranda. Real ” Knight” or not my hat is off to him.

It was cool. Had real coats of arms, swords, knight suits, etc. Also had lovely gardens and a scenic view of the river below.
