The Castle Returns:
The Elegance Of History Reborn

Perched high above Metamora, Indiana, the Metamora Castle stands as one of the region’s
most talked-about and admired properties. For decades, people wondered about the
mysterious stone tower on the hill. Now, the castle is entering a new chapter led by its new
owners, Brandon and Alicia, who are restoring the estate with the vision of
opening it for weddings, events, retreats, and overnight stays. What started as a birthday
trip turned into an unexpected moment of falling in love with the land, the people, and
the energy of Metamora. Today, the castle is being brought back to life
with respect for its history and excitement for its future.
