Squire's Castle is a picturesque ruin of a castle set in Willoughby Hills in the North Chagrin Reservation. It was completed by Feargus B. Squire in the 1890s as the future gatekeeper's house – he was planning to build a large country estate on the land but never fulfilled his dream. Squire, who worked for the Standard Oil Compan, sold the castle and the surrounding 525 acres in 1922 to the Cleveland Metroparks.

The Squire's Castle is open to the public today but is seriously deteriorating. The Willoughby Hills Public Library holds a history seminar in the castle every year. The park around the castle has a footpath, cooking grills, a large grassy field, and a riding trail. The legend about the ghost of Squire's wife attracts many curious visitors.
