Located in Newport, Belcourt Castle celebrates Rhode Island’s unique culture and history.
An eco-conscious restoration effort was spearheaded by Carolyn Rafaelian, a local business mogul, whose massive undertaking has garnered the attention of Forbes magazine and The History Channel. Originally designed in 1891 by Richard Morris Hunt, the estate served as a summer retreat for Oliver Belmont and his many horses.
Carolyn and her team of experts relied on old photos to guide the process of reviving the mansion to its original grandeur. Vaulted ceilings that tower two stories high, immaculate plasterwork, wood panel walls, marble fireplaces, stained glass windows, and crystal chandeliers are just a few of the estate’s exquisite features.
