Hoosier Castles

As someone who grew up in the Tri-State, the only castle I know of that's close to home is Castle High School in Newburgh (shoutout to the Knights my alma mater).  But besides the high school, I didn't know Indiana was home to any actual castles, but it turns out I was wrong.  There is a castle located in Bowing Green, Indiana, and you can stay the night, get married, or host a medieval dinner there!

A Medieval-Style Castle in Indiana

Clayshire Castle is located in Bowling Green, Indiana (did you know there was also a Bowling Green, Indiana?) and while it looks like a photo out of a fairytale, it's not, it's a real bed and breakfast and you can book a stay there anytime.

Escape the chaos and stress of the modern world at Clayshire Castle, a medieval-style bed and breakfast in the tranquil countryside of western central Indiana. Here our guests are treated like royalty with luxurious accommodations, gourmet breakfast, and unique surroundings.

They have five unique rooms you can book, they also have a great hall where you can host events, like weddings, or even a medieval-style dinner (how fun would that be?!). They also host a Medieval Faire every September, so if you've ever wanted to enjoy a Medieval Faire at a real castle, this is definitely the place for you!

A Nearby Getaway

If you're looking for a place to get away that isn't too far from home, Clayshire Castle is located in Bowling Green, Indiana which is about 2 hours from Evansville. So it's really not far of a drive at all.

I was checking the attractions portion of the Clayshire Castle website, and the castle is close to a couple of state parks, a winery, a golf course, and plenty of places to go shopping.   You can check out the Clayshire Castle website here.
