you saw the best parts. trust me. hehehe. and i had to pay to see the rest a long time ago and walk up on the roof. it was in sad shape then. thanks so much for the pictures. it looks like they did a great job decorating it
Do you remember which year you went? If I remember right the current owner bought it in 2002 and moved in around 2005. He said the upstairs is mostly his messy bedroom and other non-castle sort of things, but I'm still curious about the building itself; floors, walls, ceilings, and so on. Would have loved to see the view from the top of the tower. It was $10/person to get in, and they had free drinks and snacks, too. The owner is very nice, and was telling some stories about the history, and took a few of us back to the restricted areas behind the kitchen, where it goes "into" the mountain, he called it the "dungeon" since it is a small room used for storage, might have been a wine cellar before.
He mentioned how the people who almost bought it were talking about how it was so "dark" inside, and that they wanted to put drywall over the stone walls, and paint all the woodwork white. I'm VERY glad those people didn't buy it. There were lots of neat little things, like the dragon skeleton has a santa hat and bowtie, little things that gave a great overall feel.
