🏰 A REAL medieval castle… hidden in Massachusetts?!
Yes — and almost nobody knows it’s there. Rising above the rocky coast of Gloucester stands Hammond Castle, a medieval-style castle straight out of a European fairytale. ✨
🏰 Built between 1926 and 1929 by John Hays Hammond, Jr. — the brilliant inventor known as the “Father of Remote Control”
🌊 Perched on the Atlantic coast in Gloucester, about an hour from Boston
🗝️ Inside: a soaring Great Hall, an indoor courtyard with a turquoise pool, stained glass, and even secret passageways
🎹 Hammond filled it with Roman, medieval, and Renaissance treasures — and inventions years ahead of their time
👑 Part castle, part museum, part love letter to the Middle Ages — built by a modern genius
