If you've never seen the castle nestled into a mountainside in Wheeling, West Virginia, at the Mount Woods Overlook, now is probably not the time to go check it out in person.

The castle has seen better days: what was once a pristine overlook affording miles of stunning mountain views is now a colorful collage of graffiti, and needless to say, some local folks aren't too fond of it.

But, we have an alternative to an in-person visit: the talented folks at Ohio Valley Drone have taken some amazing drone footage of the castle that will allow you to experience this abandoned building for yourself.

You can enjoy close ups of the interior of the castle as well as panoramic shots of the surrounding mountains.

Expertly flown and filmed, this drone tour is definitely an experience you don't want to miss! Here's the footage of the castle thanks to Youtube user Broadwater Properties Media:

Pretty impressive, isn't it? There are so many places around our state that we can't explore for one reason or another, so we're grateful that we can still experience some of them so thoroughly even without an in-person visit!
