The Most Unique Castle In Arkansas Will Make You Want To Visit Right Away

Quigley's Castle, a unique stonework castle with extraordinary gardens, opens for tours in March.

Once upon a time there was an incredibly unique and talented woman named Elise Quigley. She decided that nothing in the world would be better than living among plants, in a castle made from unique stonework and brimming with charm and quirkiness. She wanted her castle to be the only one of its kind. You see, Elise Quigley wasn’t a princess, she was a visionary who made her dream a reality with decades of hard work and dedication to the cause of having the most splendid castle in the whole of the Natural State. Though Elise Quigley has since passed on, her labor of love remains. It’s called Quigley’s Castle, and it will open for the season this March. There is a small fee to tour this exceptional place, but it’s totally worth it.

Quigley’s Castle is located at 274 Quigley Castle Road in Eureka Springs. You can find directions here.

There really isn't anything like this humble castle, and the more you explore, the more you'll find to see. It's the incredible details that make Quigley's Castle so extraordinary.

The blocks that make up the castle are as unique as the castle itself.

In fact, you’ll find lots of unique rock work hanging around.

Pretty much everything is sculpted out of natural stone and found objects.

Even the birdhouse stand is a beautiful sculpture.

The grounds are one of the most extraordinary parts of the experience.

Outside Quigley’s Castle there is a truly exceptional garden.

In fact, on the entire property you’ll see over 400 varieties of flowers. Part of that has to do with the gorgeous garden you'll find inside.

Along with places to sit . . .

. . . and handmade quilts . . .

. . . and cozy bedrooms . . .

. . . and their one-of-a-kind butterfly wall.

One thing is for certain—there’s nowhere in the world like Quigley’s Castle, and you’ll want to go there right away.

But do make sure you call them first at (479) 253-8311 to inquire about their hours, as those hours are limited in the month of March.
