Mission Statement
The Berkeley Castle in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Berkeley Castle Foundation is a nonprofit focused on the restoration and maintenance of our iconic landmark, and keeping the Castle accessible for community events.
Description
Built by 100 German masons over 6 years, the 9,300 square foot Castle is constructed of local silica sandstone, painstakingly brought to the property by horse and wagon in the Gilded Age. The Castle has been modernized over the years while retaining its classic charm, including a lavish ballroom complete with two stone fireplaces and Grand Staircase. With a dungeon tucked into a secret passageway, griffins providing stony vigilance, steep topography maximizing natural defense, and a turreted rooftop with battlements and a spectacular view, the Castle hearkens back to European traditions. Our volunteer crew keep the grounds and building looking beautiful and open for community events and historical educational tours and demonstrations.
