Curwood Castle, Stone writer's mansion in Owosso, Michigan, United States.
The castle features local fieldstone walls, wooden beams, and medieval-style turrets overlooking the Shiawassee River in central Michigan.
Built in 1922 as a writing studio for novelist James Oliver Curwood, the structure earned National Register of Historic Places status in 1971.
The interior displays original manuscripts, photographs, and personal items from James Oliver Curwood's career as a wilderness adventure novelist.
The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours explaining the architecture and history of the structure.
Each stone in the castle walls was hand-selected from local quarries and farms to match Curwood's specific vision for his writing sanctuary.
