Vikingsholm Castle
Vikingsholm Castle
About
Vikingsholm is a castle hidden from the road, located on the shore of Emerald Bay. You can't drive to it. You either have to walk down a bit of a steep path from the parking lot on the highway, or visit by boat. It is now a national and state landmark that was once owned by Lora Knight. It's considered one of the finest examples of Scandinavian architecture anywhere outside of the Nordic countries, and represents an era from the past of lavish living. The Visitor Center next to the castle opens for purchasing tour tickets and tours begin at the end of May and run through the summer months, 7 days a week, every 30 minutes, between 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets are $15 per adult, with discounts for students, children, active-duty military and senior citizens. The tours are 30 minutes long with knowledgeable guides. Purchase tickets on site the day you are attending. No advanced ticket sales or reservations necessary. Dogs are not allowed on the trail or in the castle. You must pay $10 for parking for the day, or $3 for one hour, in the lot along the highway and be able to handle the walk down the steep path.
