@americantravelarchives: So many people skip this spot… We can’t believe this castle was built by one man only… Follow for more hidden gems and bucket list adventures across the U.S. Loveland Castle, officially called Château Laroche, sits right on the banks of the Little Miami River. It was built stone by stone by a World War I veteran named Harry Andrews, who spent over 50 years turning his dream of a medieval fortress into reality. Today, you can actually tour the castle, walk through its towers and gardens, and learn about the unique history behind it. ✨ Must-know before you go: 🏰 The castle is open most days from late morning to evening (weather permitting). 🎟️ Entry is usually just a few dollars per person — cash only. 🌿 There are picnic tables, making it a great stop for families or couples. 📸 Don’t miss the rooftop views overlooking the river. What makes this spot even cooler is the community of volunteers (known as the “Knights of the Golden Trail”) who help preserve the castle and keep Harry’s vision alive. It’s one of those quirky, unexpected finds that proves you don’t have to leave the U.S. to step into a storybook setting. Would you explore this castle on your next Ohio trip?

Sir Harry was the kindest man. He loved to talk about his castle and he would let you help build it

I went through the castle back in about 1975 he was alive and after dark, you had to go out the little door of the castle, not the big door he would not open the big door after dark. I was about 15 years old. I live about 15 minutes from there.
