In Versailles, Kentucky there’s beautiful tall grasses and farms as far as the eye can see. But suddenly, as if almost out of thin air, there’s stone perched upon a tall hill surrounded by a wall determined to keep out the enemy (whomever that may be).

Of course, I had to examine it more closely. After all, castles aren’t something known to be built on American soil. I drove YUMMY up the long and winding road to the steep entrance where a gate sat. As it slowly opened, I saw the small engraved plaque that read, “Castle Post.”

What lies behind closed doors? See for yourself:

Welcome to Castle Post, a structure that was built in the late 1960’s after a couple had returned from Europe and wanted to keep the European fairy tale alive. Unfortunately, they divorced before the gigantic house had finished being built, and it sat as a beautiful tragedy until the early 2000’s, when a Floridian lawyer purchased the establishment and created it as a hotel and fundraising site. In the beginning, it contained seven bedrooms, fifteen bathrooms, a fountain in the driveway, and a tennis court. Now, in addition it has  twelve luxury suites, a library, game room, music room, dining hall, ball room, swimming pool, and formal garden.
