Description
The Landmark Inn is a historic inn and state historic site in Castroville featuring limestone structures from the 1800s. The two-story main building sits on the Medina River bank alongside gardens and mill remnants from that era.
History
Swiss immigrants Cesar and Hannah Monod built the property in 1849 as a residence and trading post for travelers. Over the following decades, it became an important stopping point as the surrounding region grew and developed.
Culture
The buildings reflect how Alsatian and German-speaking settlers shaped this area during the 1800s, creating their own neighborhoods. Visitors can see how these communities maintained their traditions through the structures they built and the way they organized their daily lives around the site.
Practical
The site offers several rooms for overnight stays and is open for visits during daylight hours. Be aware that the property sits along the river, so access may be more difficult during heavy rains.
