Bishop Castle is located on the Greenhorn Highway 165, about 20 miles southwest of Pueblo, CO. I'll let my video describe the castle:
I do suggest a visit to this place. The castle is a personal effort of Mr. Bishop, who, "in 1959 at the ripe old age of 15 paid four hundred and fifty dollars for a two and a half acre parcel of land enclosed on three sides by the majestic San Isabel National Forest in southern Colorado."
