Warner Castle
About Warner Castle
Things like this make Rochester a cool place to visit. I noticed that Warner Castle is a hidden gem tucked away in Highland Park. This imposing Gothic-style fortress, built in 1854, is a testament to Rochester's rich history. Once the private residence of Horatio Gates Warner, a prominent local figure, the castle now serves as the headquarters for the Landmark Society of Western New York. What really caught my eye was the stunning Sunken Garden, designed by renowned landscape architect Alling S. DeForest in 1930. It's a pocket of utopia that transports you to another time and place. Whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or just looking for a peaceful spot to relax, Warner Castle and its grounds offer a unique experience. The castle's striking architecture and the meticulously maintained gardens make it a perfect spot for photography or a quiet afternoon stroll. It's these unexpected treasures that make Rochester such a fascinating city to explore.
