Loveland Castle


Our final stop in Cincinnati was the Loveland Castle just east of the city.  This small structure was built by one man hauling stones from the nearby river one-by-one to this location.  It is modeled after European castles he saw while serving in WWII.





The small sign in front of this garden says, "Keep out of the garden".  One of the caretakers said this sea dragon got in the garden one to many times...




Camden enjoyed posing from this small turret in the garden.



Sir Picklelot (notice the pickle bow in her right hand).



The inside was small, dark, and hot.  This castle is taken care of by the Knights of the Golden Trail.  It has the potential to be fantastic, but is just a little rundown.




There was even a small dungeon to explore.


The gardens, again, had potential to be beautiful, but were a little under-cared for.


Our wee knight really liked exploring this place, especially once she had her own sword.
