Berkeley Castle

Berkeley Castle, located on a ridge above Berkeley Springs State Park in West Virginia, was built in 1885 by businessman Samuel Taylor Suit for his young bride, although he didn't live to see its completion. Built of local sandstone, it was open for house tours for many years but is now privately owned. More information is located on the town's website.

 

I took this picture from a distance in downtown Berkeley Springs, and obviously the foliage obscures much of the building, but I liked the appearance of it peeking out from the trees.
