Herreshoff Castle, Gothic residence in Marblehead, United States.
The mansion features stone walls with climbing plants, Gothic arched windows, wooden doors, and several turrets at 2 Crocker Park in Marblehead.
Waldo Ballard and Joanna McCoy built the castle in 1920, modeling it after Erik the Red's Viking property in Greenland, before selling it to Francis Herreshoff in 1945.
The castle's design combines medieval European architectural elements with New England residential traditions, reflecting the American interpretation of Gothic style in the 1920s.
The carriage house operates as a bed and breakfast from May through November, offering guests tours of the main castle building and its great room.
From the copper-roofed tower building, visitors can see from Boston Light in the south to Magnolia shore in the north, including Marblehead Neck and the harbor.
