Hammond Castle Museum

About

Hammond Castle Museum offers guided and self-guided tours, specialty Candlelight and Spiritualism Tours, and numerous educational and cultural events April–December. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

First-time visitors are often surprised to see a true European castle on the New England shoreline.  Hammond Castle was built in the late 1920s by scientist, inventor, and interestingly enough, an art connoisseur of the highest order, John Hays Hammond, Jr. (1888-1965).  Sitting high on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the castle brings together a unique combination of art, architectural elements, and culture, backstopped by many innovative technological applications, yet unknown and unseen by the visitor.
