Just a short drive north of Ohio’s historic town of Marrietta, in Whipple, sits the Grizer Castle, a medieval-style castle built by Bill Grizer. The castle was born out of Grizer’s desire to fulfill a childhood dream – to live in a castle.

Construction on the castle began in 2014 and was completed in 2018 using a 4,000-year-old construction method, while the façade of the castle was inspired by 15th-century castles, an armory, and other similar elements. Today, the Grizer Castle is one of Mid-Ohio Valley’s most popular wedding venues with 80 stunning acres of sprawling grounds, 10 guest rooms, and tons of event space for any occasion.
