Set on an island in the middle of the winding St. Lawrence River, the red-tipped turrets of the medieval-inspired Singer Castle are an unexpected sight. One of only a handful of American castles open to the public, this Thousand Islands landmark is barely over a century old, but has a surprisingly rich history.

Biltmore Estate in North Carolina

With 255 rooms, the magnificent Bilmore Estate is often called an American Castle. It was constructed in the late 1800s.
