Loveland Castle

Less spooky and more just Weird is the Loveland Castle. Loveland Castle, also known as Chateau Laroche, is a museum on the banks of the Little Miami River north of Loveland, Ohio. 

Built in the style of a Medieval castle, construction began in the 1920s by a man named Harry D. Andrews. He built the castle on promotional plots of land that were obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Andrews named his castle after a military hospital in the Château de la Roche in southwest France, where he was stationed during the First World War. Its name means "Rock Castle" in French.

For over fifty years, Andrews worked on his castle project. He pulled stones from the nearby Little Miami River, and when that supply was exhausted, molded bricks with cement and quart milk cartons.

Our Loveland Castle yarn is warm tans and greens. Beautifully pairs with its local cryptid, the Loveland Frogman.
