Wulff Castle, Castle on coastal promontory in Viña del Mar, Chile
The stone building features a circular tower connected to the main structure by a glass-floor bridge over the Pacific Ocean waves.
German merchant Gustav Wulff constructed the initial wooden residence in 1906 and later transformed it into a stone castle with architect Alberto Cruz Montt.
The castle served as the Chilean Naval Museum from 1960 to 1988, exhibiting maritime artifacts and documents from the national naval heritage.
The Municipal Heritage Department occupies the castle, which received National Historical Monument status in 1995 and stands at Marina Avenue 37.
Through the transparent bridge floor connecting the round tower to the main building, visitors observe waves crashing against the rocky outcrop below.
