Château Laroche

Château Laroche, also known as the Loveland Castle, is a museum on the banks of the Little Miami River in Loveland, Ohio, United States. A folly of a historical European castle, it was built in 1929 by Boy Scout troop leader Harry Andrews. He built the castle on two free plots of land that his scouts obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer.[1] When Andrews died in 1981, he willed the castle to his Boy Scout troop, the Knights of the Golden Trail.[2][3] Tales of the castle being haunted – often coming from Chateau Laroche's own volunteer knights – have have been reported over the years.[4]
