I am always amazed by someone with determination and patience. And this next castle that I want to talk about is an outstanding example of both determination and patience.
It takes determination to build a castle all by yourself. (A real castle). And it takes patience - 50 years worth of patience.
That's what it was all about with a man named Harry Andrews.
He returned from Europe after WWI. And after seeing castles in Europe he was determined to build his own right here in America.
And that's what he did. It is called Loveland Castle aka. Chateau LaRoche. It is located in Loveland Ohio.
I stopped in for a day visit to see this castle. It is open to the public. You pay an entrance fee then you can freely walk around the grounds and the internal parts of the castle.
I am on a quest just like Mr. Andrews; to build my own castle. But.... at my age I don't have the strength to build it myself. And I surely don't have 50 years left. I am going to have to raise the money and have someone else build it.
