An AMAZING castle built by one man

Bishop Castle is a unique and somewhat eccentric structure located in Rye, Colorado. It is a private residence and a popular roadside attraction, named for its creator, Jim Bishop.
Construction on Bishop Castle began in 1969, when Jim Bishop purchased a plot of land in the San Isabel National Forest. He began building a stone cabin, and over the years, the project grew to become a sprawling castle-like structure with towers, bridges, and even a fire-breathing dragon sculpture.
Bishop Castle has been the subject of controversy over the years, as Jim Bishop has been known to clash with government agencies over issues such as building permits and land use. However, the castle has also been celebrated for its unique and imaginative design, and it has become a popular destination for visitors to southern Colorado.
If you are interested in visiting Bishop Castle, be aware that it is a private residence and visitors are only allowed during certain hours. It is also important to note that the structure is not up to code and may not be entirely safe for visitors, particularly those with mobility issues.
