This Castle was the summer home of the Singer Sewing Machine president, Frederick Moore. Built in 1902, it took 2 years to build. It holds a long and interesting story of ownership and is currently owned by a German who in 2002 purchased it for $8 million, and renovated it. Currently, it is up for sale for $16 million, however, the German has a caveat with the property, he wishes it to remain open to the public.

The Entry -the architect based the construction on the book Woodstock, by Sir Walter Scott.

One can stay over at the Castle for roughly $1000./night which includes breakfast and dinner, with transport back and forth to the Castle as well as full roaming of the estate.

The Wine Cellar and one of the secret passage ways. The Castle has secret passage ways running throughout the entire house. Some were discovered after the latest castle purchase.

All that said – a picture is worth a 1000 words.. so let’s get those pictures going.

The Dining Room

The Breakfast Room off the Dining Room

The Bedrooms where one can stay over.

The Health Room

Frederick Moore had 8 children and at the time of his death only only child wished to have the Castle. She was married to a doctor and had no children so that is why the Castle passed through a variety of owners.

The Sunroom

The Library with another secret passage.

The exterior of the Castle

Much has been done since my visit 10 years ago. The tour guide was amazing, and if only I had an extra thousand dollars to burn.

Bucket list.
