Also known as the Nemacolin Castle, this historic landmark is located in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, on the east bank of Monongahela River. The castle was constructed in the Victorian era, when the crenellated tower was considered an engineering genius. It is one of several large buildings of the 1800s that are still standing in the Pennsylvania region. Three generations of the Bowman family lived in the castle after which it was purchased by the National Historic Society. It is now operated as a house museum and is open for public visits.

Nemacolin Castle is the third oldest castle in the United States and is absolutely amazing! A national landmark located in Brownsville, PA, it showcases just how life would have been lived in those days. We have taken the ghost tour and Christmas tour (our favorite) where we watch the Brownsville Historical Society maintain and bring the castle to life through each event. With Christmas decor, garlands and trees at Christmas to everyday decor, the castle maintains its majestic look and life. Booking a tour not only checks something off of your bucket list, but also lets you live as royalty for a day. Who wouldn’t want that?! Don’t miss out on this amazing tourist attraction!136 Front St. Brownsville, PA 15417For more information about Nemacolin Castle, call the office at 724-785-6882 oremail: [email protected]
MoreJust took a regular tour on 5/15/21 , was very pleased with the tour , it is a very nice place to see , no disappointments here , worth every penny to see it , very nice staff of people there , will come back again .
MoreI just did a walk around the castle as it was not open yet. Nemacolin reminds me more of a French type Chateau than a actual castle. Nemacolin is supposed to be the third largest castle in the USA. When I was a kid eons ago we called it Bowman's castle after the architect or owner. Close by parking could be tricky when busy. There's a fantastic view of the Monongahela River valley below.
MoreHave gone to Nemacolin Castle for years, usually go for the Christmas tour annually which occurs from last of November to the week before Christmas.
MoreJust attempted to visit the castle however it was closed even though according to their page on Google Map they were to open at noon on Sundays. The house appears to be beautiful however we walked the grounds and it is sadly not well maintained. It appears it may be nothing more than a money making “haunted house”. Ugh. I was sad that we did not get to tour the house but more sad of the poor conditions of the grounds. I’m not sure who is responsible for the property but hoping this beautiful historical structure will not end up in ruins. For now I would not waste time scheduling a visit.
