Fonthill Castle

This time I came to Doylestown, mainly to check in at the castle. This Gothic and Byzantine castle-style building has 44 rooms, 18 fireplaces and 200 windows. When it comes to this castle, I have to mention the owner of the castle. Henry Chapman Mercer, a student of Harvard and Penn University, He was named archaeologist, collector and tile manufacturer, and then went to France and Germany to open his own ceramic factory. His porcelain was also used in Pennsylvania's Parliament House, Rockefeller's mansion, and the Hollywood Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. The tour of the castle is guided by a guide, and will take everyone along the way, explaining while visiting. The castle is a Gothic and Byzantine style building designed by Mercer itself. What is more interesting is that at the beginning of the building, there was no design sketch, so it was conceived on the side of the building. The construction process was completely sky-high and empty. There was a castle with a strange building style and no ordinary building style, and there was no symmetrical wind in general buildings. The architecture is like Mercer's willful. 📌 Tour: ▪️ The castle is located in a huge courtyard, there is a tree-lined path in front of the door, all the way through the tree-lined road, and the huge castle is introduced. The back of the castle is the parking lot. The pottery factory behind the castle is also open to the public as a museum. ▫️ Museum The interior has a variety of styles of roof decoration, there is also a library in the museum, as a Harvard and Penn University students, people can not help but feel that knowledge is wealth, the library has two floors, the collection of books covers a wide range, the reception room is very large, but once entering the bedroom area, It feels more pocket mini, it is said that Mercer also installed 200 windows for the building, so the light is not very dark, the whole castle is like a huge maze, it feels like if it is not a guided tour, it is easy to get lost in it.

The seafood platter is too powerful, the amount is delicious, you can directly enjoy the opera house

Very nice place, I feel very good, I like this place very much. Have a great time.

An hour's drive from Fanwood, New Jersey, to Doiston, Pennsylvania, where three castle museums are built, he spent decades collecting and preserving tens of thousands of precious artifacts so that people can still see the objects hundreds of years ago Product, is the best witness to study American history and culture! The construction of the castle is also a unique style design and construction concept, is a rare product of the history of American architectural engineering!
