Bannerman Castle
"This abandoned castle in the Hudson River Valley near Cold Spring was built on the uninhabited Pollepel Island in 1901 by Scottish immigrant Frank Bannerman. Bannerman owned a military surplus supply company but his Brooklyn store could not hold his entire arsenal, so he decided to design a replica of the castles like those in his homeland to store the extra ammunition. After 200 tons of shells explored in 1920, the castle was left partially in ruins. Today, visitors can see the outside of Bannerman Castle up close (it’s dangerous to walk inside) by taking a passenger boat around the island, or by traveling with a tour by canoe or kayak."
