Van Slyke Castle Ruins

After a short hike in the Ramapo state forest you can find the remains of an abandoned castle destroyed by vandals in 1959. The van Slyke castle also known as foxcroft is located in Wanaque New Jersey. Although heavily damaged, the structural elements of the building still remain, as well as a pool and water tower.

Just found your channel, and I love it! New York has so many interesting abandoned structures to explore; it's an explorer's paradise.

thank you ! I'm so drawn to these places. Most people see these places in their current condition and just see garbage, but I cant help but think of all the history and how amazing they once where.
