The castle was built in 1860 by Augustus Beardslee by Irish and Swiss masons. During its long history, the castle survived two major fires in the 20th century. After the second fire destroyed much of the kitchen, the space was left vacant for three years. In 1994, the current owners purchased and renovated it to its former glory.
