November 16 – December 31, 2024
Starting on Saturday, November 16th, on all weekdays as well as weekends in November, our daily one-hour guided tours of historic Fonthill Castle showcase Henry Mercer’s home decorated for the holidays, and share the history of Mercer and the construction of this unique property. Tours are 60 minutes and guided.
Fonthill Castle’s interior features Mercer’s renowned, handcrafted ceramic tiles designed at the height of the Arts and Crafts movement, and the castle serves as an early example of reinforced concrete architecture with forty-four rooms, two hundred windows, and eighteen fireplaces.
