Rubel Castle, Folk art castle in Glendora, California, US.
The castle complex spans 1.7 acres and features concrete structures adorned with repurposed materials, including bottles, bedsprings, and industrial equipment.
Michael Rubel purchased the citrus orchard property at age 18 in 1959 and spent 26 years transforming it into an architectural creation.
The property includes a clock tower with a 1911 Seth Thomas timepiece, dungeons, a blacksmith area, and a Santa Fe Railroad caboose.
Visitors must schedule tours in advance, and participants need to walk and stand for 90 minutes while navigating steps without handrails.
The castle walls incorporate thousands of recycled objects collected during suburban development, from motorcycle parts to kitchen appliances.
