The story of Hearst Castle, California

Though Hearst Castle, CA, is commonly associated with the Bay Area, this has more to do with the newspaper magnet’s association with the city than with the actual location of the castle. The castle is almost equidistant between Los Angeles and San Francisco, lying about 250 miles south of the Bay Area. The Hearst Castle in California is one of the most distinctive landmarks in the United States. The architecture of the castle incorporates elements of Iberian architecture, Greek architecture and other elements that combine to form an eclectic creation that is as distinctive as it is memorable.

The Hearst Castle, California is also well known for the exotic animals that roam the grounds. The eclectic architecture and the presence of these rare animals from all over the world made this one of the places to be in the early part of the 20th century. Presidents and famous actors sought invitations to the castle and, though the Hearst Castle, Calif, only started out as a project to build a bungalow in an area where the son of the famous newspaper magnate enjoyed hiking and camping, it has become one of the most well-known landmarks in the nation.

Hearst Castle information is available online at the website maintained by the owners of the castle. There are tours of the castle offered and the very sight of the structure on the skyline from far away is something memorable in and of itself. This area of California has remained largely undeveloped as the land on which the castle sits is directly on the edge of the ocean. This allows the Hearst Castle to enjoy amazing views, but is resulted in it remaining essentially isolated from any other development. A Hearst castle vacation offers a truly different California experience.
