This
architectural masterpiece was built in the middle of the 19th
Century in the heart of the Green Mountains. The Castle stands
as a monument to the heritage of the past.
The Castle has been the home of five generations of the Wilson
family. It's design is a blend of European styles. Part of the estate
is presently in the Wilson Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization,
to preserve its longevity.
The facade of the Castle is set with English brick and marble,
and is dominated by nineteen open proscenium arches and shadowed
by a towering turret, parapet, and balcony.
The
residence of the 115 acre estate has three floors spaciously divided
into 32 rooms. The interior features are highlighted with 84 stained-glass
windows and 13 fireplaces finished with imported tiles and bronze.
The Castle's furnishings include Far Eastern and European antiques
and museum pieces, complemented by statuary, Chinese scrolls, and
Oriental rugs. The various rooms with their distinctive features
provide an elegant and richly gracious interior.
On the grounds are cattle barns, stables, the carriage house, and
the glass house.
