Riverside Castles & Stately Homes

Benedict Castle is a historic building that took nine years to build starting around 1922. It is a Medieval-Spanish structure with strong Moorish influences and was designed by Henry L. A. Jekel for Charles W. Benedict. The castle is built of steel-reinforced concrete and thirty-pound adobe bricks baked on the premises in kilns. The castle sits on a hill overlooking Riverside. Some of the building structural amenities include wood-framed stained-glass windows, iron grill work, heavy wooden doors with hand-forged iron latches and hinges, and more. The castle is currently being used as a venue to host special events such as weddings.
