About Bannerman Castle

Bannerman Castle is a unique ruin on the banks of the Hudson River. Built in 1901 by Francis Bannerman VI, the castle was originally an ammunition storage facility and operated until 1967. After the accidental explosion of powder stored in the castle in 1920, it fell into disrepair, and the remaining structure is now a popular tourist destination. The grounds are open to the public for guided tours, and visitors can explore the ruins, view exhibits, and learn about the castle's history.
