The Castle in Kentucky

Posted by John Farrier in Architecture on July 13, 2009 at 5:40 am

The United States has few castles, so each one stands out as unusual.  Above is a picture of Martin Castle, built in the 1960-1970s by real estate developer Rex Martin.  He built it when his wife became enamored of castles after a trip to Europe.  Construction was never finished because Martin and his wife divorced.  He has since tried to find a buyer that might want to turn it into a museum.

This stunning castle was created by Japanese art student Wataru Itou. It took four years of dedication to bring to fruition. It is complete with electric lights and a working train. The exhibit is called “A Castle On The Ocean” and is on display in Tokyo.
