It is indeed an interesting place, I found the story of its one-man construction fascinating. I wish I had more pictures too! Maybe a Flickr search would result in a few more visitor’s photos of the Mystery Castle?

I’ve been to this place and it’s quite something to see. Wish there were more pictures!

To my knowledge it is not. I took photos from the top of my car until a security guard from a neighboring/unrelated lot approached me by golf cart and politely warned me that I was on federal land and an official guard of the property would probably be by shortly to escort me out. I thanked him, played dumb tourist, snapped a few more photos, and then quietly left the area.

This home was featured on an HGTV series on unusual homes. It didn’t look roomy at all! Very cool though!

Leonard joyously led 5 minute tours as people arrived. He doesn’t engage in dialogue much (I think mostly due to poor hearing) but he gets his point across. He spouts off his building procedures and quantifies the amount of people and pictures that he has seen, but not in a manner that has any hint of robotics or twenty odd years of repetition. “Keep it simple!” he says, and immediately I think, there is nothing simple about this. He smiles and encourages you take pictures and explore, and then he walks away, keeping it simple.

These pics are amazing. Was Leonard Knight just as weird and awesome as I hope he would be? This is one of my dream folk art sights, so jealous you got to visit.
