All hand-laid by one guy. This dude built this castle after he returned from WWI. His told his Sunday school class of kids that if they carried the rocks up from the river he’d build them a castle if they swore an oath to live by the Ten Commandments. 50 years and 55,000 five gallon buckets later, here it is! He had it mostly finished by the time of his death in the mid-eighties. It’s crazy that he figured out how to build a spiral staircase and a dome all out of individual rocks with no poured concrete or metal support. You can see a little of the three floors of the staircase in the pic on the right.
