Early History

As you stay in the castle consider...


1870 Construction of Greyview Castle.

  • The Castle was inspired by a conversation between William Greyview and his wife, who had grown up in Romania in the shadow of a large castle she'd dreamed of living in. Once the plans were drawn, it took four years to complete.

  • An entire community of craftsmen came together to create this wonder of architecture as well as a rose garden around it.


1874 the Castle is completed in time for Christmas.

  • On Christmas Eve, the testiment of love that had been spent so long building is open and ready for the family to celebrate the holiday, complete with ornaments and lights.

  • The finished house contained seven bedrooms, a great hall, kichen, study, and sitting and family room. There are also referneces to many secret passages.


1881 the Conservitory and Grounds are built

  • To make room for the growing family and Olivia's love of plans, the conservatory is created to house her growing collection of exotic plants.

  • Extra land was purchased in order to expand the grounds. This land makes up the trails today.
