In Colorado, there is a place called Bishop's Castle. A guy named Jim Bishop has been building it for the last 50 years on his family land but I'm not too sure if it is still being built. As I understood, it was his dream to own a castle. Well, he made it and he lets everybody visit it!
It wasn't a planned visit for us but since we had some time left, we decided to choose a route this place is located right next to and give this a visit.
The castle features 3 floors and you can visit every room inside.
Inside you can find some larger rooms with colorful windows.
You can also climb to the towers above and use these extremely shady staircases. These were so wobbly and shaky lol and everyone I heard there was scared haha, I was no exception. It felt like the staircases would crumble and I would fall 3 stories down. Well, I hope they would close these if they really were unsafe.
Here are a couple of photos taken from the top. The view of the landscape was quite nice.
You can quite clearly see that money is probably a problem and funds to build it have not been unlimited. Most of the structures look quite cheaply done. Still, the guy has a castle 😅.
It's quite a unique building to see so if you happen to travel to Colorado and are driving nearby then it's definitely worth having a quick look and seeing someone's dream come true.
