Belhurst Castle, Historic residence on Seneca Lake in Geneva, US.
The three-story mansion features nine bays, Medina sandstone walls, a slate gable roof, and multiple towers with conical and pyramidal tops.
The castle, constructed between 1885 and 1889, stands on land that formerly housed a Seneca Indian village and the Ontario Glass Manufacturing Company.
Albert W. Fuller designed this Romanesque Revival structure with Syrian arches, eyebrow windows, and decorative stone chimneys that reflect 19th-century architecture.
The property now functions as a resort with three hotels, two restaurants, a winery, and event spaces for weddings and celebrations.
During Prohibition, the castle operated as a speakeasy and casino under Cornelius J. Dwyer until legal pressure forced its closure in 1952.
