Description

Did you know there's a 44-room castle in Doylestown? It's called Fonthill Castle, and it was built with hand mixed concrete more than a hundred years ago by Henry Mercer. Today, it's a museum, and the story behind it is fascinating. We asked Christian Murgia from the Bucks County Historical Society to come on the podcast to tell us all about the castle, the secrets and eccentricities inside, and why it was built in the first place.
