truly recommend anyone in cali to go check this place out. truly amazing castle and it's so big that you need 3 different tours to see it all completely. here are some pics.

















that road looked like fun to drive in. 5 mile road.

 

Sweet mercy! Great pics. How many of the 3 tours have you taken?

 

thank you. i was planning on going all 3 tours that same day. but, my gf was too tired after the first one. there is alot of walking up and down stairs. total stairs walked is well over 1,000.

 

who cares about hearst castle when we got white castle baby. haha. nice pics man.

 

Really? Do they have them out there or just the frozen ones? I miss the real thing...

Oh, great pics, too.

 

That's awesome. I think I'd build that if I had the money, too.

 

those are great pics your getting pretty damn good with that camera.......

 

Nice!

 

That is sweet. I wish I had a castle.

 

So what exactly is the difference between a mansion and a castle? This looks like another mansion to me now that I look at it. Though "castle" sounds cooler than "mansion"

 

thanks for all the compliments people.

here are some interesting facts about the castle...

-Hearst Castle was like a small self-contained city, with 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, 19 sitting rooms, 127 acres of gardens, one indoor and one outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, a movie theater, an airfield, and the world's largest private zoo. Zebras and other exotic animals still roam the grounds.
-250,000 total acres on the property.
-Construction began in 1919 and continued through 1947.

Wow that is beautiful. A place I'd like to visit.

 

that's pretty awesome. definately a sight worth seeing. nice shots

 

Is that where they build shifters. DUhh daah duhh dummh duhhh.

Just kiding. Lol, Sweet house.

 

Come to NJ and take pics of my car

 

Wow... great pool for playing Marco Polo. Nice pics.

 

That is why it's a Castle and not a Mansion. Although not what I normally envision when I hear the word Castle.

 

Do you know who built it? What's the history on the family?

 

William Randolph Hearst owned this castle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Randolph_Hearst

Julia Morgan designed the castle. She was the first woman allowed to study architecture at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Morgan

 

So he was basically just left-wing journalist/newspaper conglomerate that published lies? That's hilarious!

 

- Whatever buys you a castle, right? lol

 

Sweet pics dude, Always wanted to go to Hearst Castle.
