Tinted in the soft blush of autumn light, the castle looms like an echo of a long-lost civilization. Constructed in the early 1900s as a munitions storage facility, its crumbling archways amid lush foliage evoke the grandeur of ancient ruins. The scene is reminiscent of Rome’s timeless beauty.
This artwork captures the serene beauty of Bannerman Castle. It offers a glimpse into the Hudson Valley’s rich past, natural splendor and architectural history.
