Howden Castle

Howden Castle is located on Highway 9 in Ben Lomand, California. Construction was started in 1927 and completed in 1932. It was built by Robert Howden, who modeled it on castles of his native country, Scotland. The stones of the original castle foundation walls were hand picked and set. Poems and scenes by Scottish authors Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns were etched into the windows of the castle.
From 1939 until 1946, the castle was owned by a Santa Cruz doctor, Howard Sullivan and his wife. In 1946 it was purchased by George and Ivy Weatherley who added an addition to the building. The addition is constructed of 2" thick sculptured plaster over framing. Mrs. Weatherley gave tours of the castle for almost 20 years. It remains a tourist attraction and in 1979 was determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

It's a private residence, not open to pubic

Just not worth the trip
