Kip's Castle Park, County park in Verona and Montclair, United States
The 11-acre park features a 9,000-square-foot mansion designed as a medieval Norman castle and a 6,000-square-foot two-story carriage house.
Frederic Ellsworth Kip and Charlotte Bishop Williams Kip constructed the estate in the early 1900s, maintaining ownership until Charlotte's death in 1926.
Essex County purchased the property in 2007, transforming it into a cultural resource center that supports arts programming and community activities.
The park grounds remain open from sunrise to sunset, while the castle interior prepares for public tours starting December 2024.
The site marks the location of the 1817 Cranetown Triangulation Station, among the first points used to map New York Harbor.
