Castles

Your kingdom awaits...in Missouri. I found a real castle in the Show Me State that even Robin Hood would love, if he could afford it.

I will not hide my feelings. I LOVE this place. Capital L. It's a house in Nauvoo, Illinois that looks like a castle and has some really epic Mississippi River views.

What would you say if I told you that it's possible to stay in a Lake of the Ozarks castle? It's true. It's the Old Kinderhook Castle and there are pics that show you what it's like inside.

It's one thing to say a place is haunted. It's quite another when it's been declared "certified haunted", but that's exactly the case for a haunted Missouri castle where over 100 have died.

You won't find many homes that look like this especially in a place with a view like this. It looks like a storybook castle and it overlooks the mighty Mississippi River.

It's funny what you can find when you're checking out Instagram. In this case, I found a literal Midwestern castle that features a real working drawbridge, moat and waterfall and I have the pictures to prove it.

I have to admit when I think of Illinois, castles aren't the first thing that comes to mind. Perhaps I should reconsider as I've learned about a real Illinois castle that took 36 years to build.

Could I interest you an a Midwestern castle? One thing you should know is that it's mostly underground. Oh, and it's also a doomsday bunker.
