Sometimes we all end up in the mood for a little adventure. We might find it in different ways, for example, some people might camp or fish, and others might hit up the local Renaissance Festival when it comes around (this author is guilty of both). Luckily for Hoosiers who mostly prefer the latter, though, there exists a castle in Indiana that can totally serve as the ideal place to let your imagination run wild. It's the elegant and fun Clayshire Castle near Bowling Green, Indiana, and it's a one-of-a-kind experience.
Everything about the property is absolutely gorgeous, all year round.
During the warmer months, it's lush and green, and during the cooler months, it's either snow-covered or brilliantly colorful. No matter when you visit, you'll feel like you literally stepped into a fairytale wonderland.
Clayshire Castle is a gorgeous medieval-style bed and breakfast in gorgeous west-central Indiana.
It's got five elegant styles of rooms up for grabs - from the Tournament Room (which is wheelchair-accessible) to the Enchanted Forest room to the Tapestry Room and more, you'll find something to love in each room. If you fall in love with the entire place, no worries - you can rent the entire castle if your heart so desires.
They also happily host weddings, parties, and any events that you can dream up.
They do their very best to create the most amazing, whimsical atmosphere they can. It's the perfect place for your happily ever after, whether that's in the form of a wedding or just a getaway with your beloved.
No matter which room you choose (or if you decide to go for the entire castle!), you'll be treated to a delectable gourmet breakfast in the morning.
To further add to the enchanted atmosphere, there are TONS of medieval-style costumes and garb in all shapes and sizes, even for kids, too! Slip into the gown of a queen and transport yourself to fantasy times of old.
There are plenty of attractions nearby as well, so make sure to keep them in mind while planning your adventure.
Nearby places of interest include McCormick's Creek State Park, Cataract Falls, and Cagles Mill Lake Dam, to name a few. There's also golfing, a winery, and Tivoli Theatre nearby.
Whether you decide to come alone or you plan your happily-ever-after fairytale wedding here, we just know you'll love it.
After the first visit, you'll want to come back again and again.
Clayshire Castle is easily one of the coolest - if not only - castles in Indiana.
The castle also hosts a Medieval Faire, with entertainment like jousting and live shows, music, a Renaissance-themed marketplace, good eating (of course), and craft beer. Be sure to check their website for the most up-to-date schedule for the event.
For a look at the insides of the gorgeous rooms you have to choose from, information about booking individual rooms or the entire castle, or more details about the Medieval Faire, make sure to visit Clayshire Castle's website.
