Madame Sherri's Castle, Manor house ruins in Chesterfield, US.
The stone ruins feature a curved staircase, columns, and foundation walls nestled within the 513-acre Madame Sherri Forest on Wantastiquet Mountain's eastern slope.
Antoinette Sherri, a Paris-born costume designer, constructed this French-style summer residence in 1929 before its destruction by fire in 1962.
During the 1920s and 1930s, the mansion attracted New York socialites and theater performers who attended extravagant parties hosted by Madame Sherri.
Visitors can access the ruins through a marked trail system starting from the forest parking lot, though climbing on the remaining structures is prohibited.
The stone staircase leads to an empty space where the mansion once stood, with ancient sugar maples surrounding the abandoned foundation walls.

New Hampshire reveals a land where the White Mountains have shaped the skyline for millennia. Between northern coniferous forests and southeastern Atlantic coasts, this New England state features waterfalls cascading over granite, glacial passes carved 15,000 years ago, and industrial villages embedded in red stone. Archaeological sites, lighthouses guiding ships on Piscataqua, and estates where early 20th-century artists shaped American identity await discovery. Trails wind through gorges, along lakes reflecting peaks, and through forests where remnants of old foundries remain. Autumn light illuminates maple trees, winter turns ravines into ice amphitheaters, and spring causes waterfalls to roar. From Mount Monadnock to the Shoals Islands, New Hampshire offers a varied geography where each hill, waterfall, and stone bears witness to a deeply rooted natural and human story within the landscape of New England.
