Did you know you can stay in this castle? 🤯
We spent the day exploring The Kentucky Castle, a literal castle in the Bluegrass State, and it's giving off full-on fairytale vibes. From the turrets to the views, this place is a hidden gem. You can visit for the day, sip wine on the rooftop, or even spend the night in one of their suites.

Two young women, one in a white shirt and the other in a blue University of Kentucky shirt, smile for a mirror selfie in what appears to be a dorm room bathroom. Toiletries are visible on the counter.
A neatly made bed in a dorm room, adorned with a floral quilt, a checkered blanket, and several plush toys. Two framed art prints featuring sun and moon designs hang on the wall above the bed.
