Review & FAQ:

The former home of the renowned archaeologist Henry Chapman Mercer, Fonthill Castle is a unique concrete structure that blends Gothic, Medieval, and Byzantine styles of architecture. In addition to being an archaeologist, Mercer was also a skilled ceramic tile maker, and many of the castle's rooms feature floors and ceilings covered with beautiful handcrafted tiles. Hour-long guided tours take visitors through the castle's 44 rooms, many of which feature fireplaces or built-on bookshelves. Visitors are welcome year-round, but one of the best times to come is in December, when the castle is transformed into a festive winter wonderland.
