This castle, built in the '20s, features an extensive sword collection & riverside picnic areas.
"This stone castle was built by one very remarkable man, Harry Delos Andrews. Andrews served as a medic during World War I where he became sick with meningitis and was declared dead prematurely. By the time word got back to America, six months later, that he was alive, his fiancée had already married someone else. Andrew took off on a grand tour of Europe and explored many castles. He eventually became a boy scout troop leader of a squad he called the Knights of the Golden Trail, which frequently camped at a secluded part of the Little Miami River in Ohio. Andrews decided to build stone tents to keep their camping gear and supplies by the creek safe and dry. The structures became a full blown medieval castle—Loveland Castle. Now, troops can still spend the night on the premises while visitors can tour the property while admiring a collection of swords and other old weapons. " [Time Out]
