The idea for the castle was started by a group of people called The Knights Of The Golden Trail. Today they are still keeping the castle in shape. None of them new what was to come of this though. Some people were selling land and a knight, Harry Andrews, bought some of it. He was getting older and he was bored, he didn't think his life was very interesting. So one day he woke up and decided to build a castle. He did this successfully with almost no help from volunteers. Harry laid almost 4 million stones! When the castle was being built, people would brings things from all over the world so Harry could put them in the building. (Such as petrified wood, gold, diamonds, and even a meteorite!) The castle had almost 15 thousand visits in Harry life time. Today the castle is 87 years old.
I had a great time learning and visiting the castle. Thanks a lot to Sir Larry!! I got to see the inside, the garden, and the river where Harry collected the stones!
