De Turk Round Barn

De Turk Round Barn is a wooden circular structure in Santa Rosa built in the 1890s as an agricultural facility. Its distinctive round shape was designed to optimize workflow and space usage for farming and livestock operations.

Built in 1891 by architect Thomas J. Ludwig, the structure was commissioned by winery owner De Turk for his estate. The building initially functioned as a stable for premium horses before shifting to other agricultural uses.

The structure represents one of the few remaining round barns in Northern California, illustrating the agricultural development of Sonoma County during the 19th century.

The building sits on Donahue Street and welcomes visitors during designated times throughout the week. Check ahead for current visiting hours, as they may change seasonally or for special events.

The Georgetown Dog Park adjacent to De Turk Round Barn hosts monthly organized events including Poodle Parties and Pug Play days throughout the year.
