OHEKA


I was surprised to learn that there is a castle on Long Island. I discovered this information when I was invited to a wedding that took place there. The wedding, of course, was beautiful, as is the castle.

Once owned and built by Otto Hermann Kahn, the castle was built nearly a century ago. It was, at the time, and still remains the second largest residence ever built in America. It changes hands many times and was even abandoned and destroyed by vandals.

In 1984 is was purchased by a developer who restored the castle to it's original grandeur. for more information on Oheka Castle visit their site.
