Where I grew up in New Jersey, there was something called Moldenke Castle. It was torn down years ago, and an expensive subdivision was build on the property. What a pity.

It's funny you should post this article, because I was on a website this morning, dedicated to Castles in the U.S. I was actually looking for info on the house "Seaview Terrace" used in the TV series "Dark Shadows." I came across this website on castles around the country:

Castles of the United States

I don't know how up-to-date it is, but if you scroll down the page a bit, there is an index of states, with links to photos and text about various castles built in this country.

Well, you can be certain that ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ will never be home to anything as important as ‘The Castle DOCTRINE’ but at least we once had a castle, LOL!

There’s a house on the main drag in Middleton, WI (next town over from Madistan) that looks like The Flintstones could live in it. It’s very unattractive.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks JoeProBono. Nowadays, Wisconsin is home to "the House on the Rock". Grand Rapids Michigan has The Castle, and Charlevoix Michigan has parts of a number of structures built by (I think) the Loeb family around a century ago. For a while in the mid-1980s it hosted concerts as "Castle Farms", but when I was a kid a painter tried making it into a tourist attraction called "Castle Van Haver". :') Walker's Castle was finally demolished about 1893 but its memory survives in the street name, Castle Place, running alongside modern Christ Presbyterian Church. Before it was dismantled, many pictures were taken (viewable at www.wisconsinhistory.org/whi) showing it in all its Gothic gloom. Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.

Cool! Too bad it was torn down. I’d like to see Ghost Hunters do an investigation at these places.

When they go in you get a tour of the place by the owner and then you get see several locations in those places close up.

Whether you think the ghost thing is legit or not, you do get some excellent historical tours on that show.
