Hearthstone Castle was built in the 1890s, like so many other American castles. It was built for a painter but it was soon sold to a wealthy businessman at the turn of the century. Over the next 80 years or so it was passed through several different owners, before it’s last owner died in 1985. So the castle fell into a state of legal unclarity. No one really owned it, or knew what to do with it. So it wasn’t taken care of. Today, it’s a complete wreck, being closed off as it’s too dangerous for visitors.
Miranda Castle is a Victorian castle in Belgium. It’s probably the most well known and beautiful of all abandoned castles. It was built for a powerful family who were forced to abandon their previous castle way back in the French revolution. It’s ironic that their new castle also ended up an abandon ruin. They were forced to abandon the castle during the second world war when it literally became part of a battlefield. And right now it’s just an abandoned wreck.
