Penniman Castle, Historic residence in Battle Creek, United States.
The two-story stone structure features octagonal towers, a cobblestone exterior, and multiple gabled roofs that form its castle-like appearance.
Built in 1905 by local businessman Allen H. Penniman, the house followed designs from architect Herbert C. Chivers and underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1941.
The residence demonstrates the architectural preferences of wealthy Americans in the early 1900s who sought to recreate European castle aesthetics in residential buildings.
Located at 443 Main Street, the castle maintains restricted access hours and requires advance arrangements for guided tours of the historic property.
The structure combines fieldstone construction techniques with an adapted Hudson River Residence design, creating an interpretation of Rhineland castle architecture.
