Welcome to stately Berkeley Springs Castle, one of West Virginia’s most recognizable structures.

Included on the National Registry of Historic Places, this fascinating hilltop edifice is said to have been inspired by Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, England.

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.
