Built by 100 German masons over 6 years, the 9,300 square foot Castle is constructed of local silica sandstone, painstakingly brought to the property by horse and wagon in the Gilded Age. The Castle has been modernized over the years while retaining its classic charm, including a lavish ballroom complete with two stone fireplaces and Grand Staircase. With a dungeon tucked into a secret passageway, griffins providing stony vigilance, steep topography maximizing natural defense, and a turreted rooftop with battlements and a spectacular view, the Castle hearkens back to European traditions.

When nothing but a Castle will do for your special event.

Lights, Camera, Castle: Berkeley Springs Castle Stars in Rhett Repko’s New Music Video
Rhett and bad lover in front of the fireplace in the Great Hall.

This spring, the Berkeley Springs Castle had the pleasure of serving as the setting for Rhett Repko’s recent music video, “Bad at Love.” The video, now live on YouTube, captures the Castle in all its brooding, romantic splendor — and we could not be more proud to see our historic walls brought to life on screen.

For those who have not yet watched, Rhett’s video makes excellent use of the Castle’s dramatic silhouette and moody Victorian atmosphere. The cinematography highlights the stonework and turrets in a way that feels both timeless and cinematic — exactly the character that makes this property a one-of-a-kind location. Whether you are a fan of Rhett’s music or simply an admirer of historic architecture, the video is worth a look.

A Castle Built for the Camera

It comes as no surprise that filmmakers and content creators are drawn to the Berkeley Springs Castle. From the wraparound verandah to the turreted roofline, every corner of this property offers visual interest. The interiors, with their antique mahogany, crystal chandeliers, and oil portraits, provide an atmospheric backdrop that is difficult to replicate anywhere else. The Castle is available for commercial filming and video shoots.

When you choose the Castle as your location, you are not just renting a beautiful space — you are helping preserve a piece of Morgan County’s history. All rental income goes directly toward the maintenance and restoration of the building.
