I own a building near the City Workhouse Castle. The Castle building is privately owned. I have watched taggers and other visitors practically destroy this iconic edifice. It is NOT open to the public.

Hideous vandalism of the castle by the Dems & Libs...Just shows how bad Kansas City is and should avoid.

I couldn't wait to go and take pictures. It is now fenced off and you can't get by. Had to take a few from the street. A shame that they haven't kept this up. Considering all the renovation and great architecture in KC I would have thought they would want to keep this up for tours or picture ops at least.

It's such an iconic spot, we had to get out and explore. It's a great spot for photos, especially using depth of field so you don't end up with a nice expletive in your picture. Our girls enjoyed walking through and taking fun photos.

This castle is all alone on a lot that is easy to pull into with a vehicle. Weren’t sure what we might find into so we simply drove around it to look at the different sides. It’s a neat castle with an interesting history. Our exploration took an entire 3-5 minutes. Might be fun for professional photographs though.
