Castle Post- possible proposal #2

I drive past the "Castle post" every day when I go to ride my horse at River Mountain Farm. It was extremely surprising the first time I came upon the Castle. One does not expect to be driving and to see a traditional, royal castle in the middle of Versailles, Kentucky. The iron, stone gate that leads up to the castle has pointed fence posts that make for a bold entrance. The grass fields that surround the castle are gigantic. Inside the castle walls there are elegant courtyards filled with flowers, fountains, and a famous dragon statue that "guards" the building.

The first thing you notice about the castle is that it is oddly placed. Everyday I go past I wonder what the implications were of building a castle in this random spot? It must cost a pretty penny to maintain the upkeep for such an extravagant home.

I would imagine there are some pretty high stakes that come with it since it is a tourist attraction. The castle brings in a lot of people to stay within it, and also hosts a lot of events such as weddings, company events, and other parties. The amount of money it brings in is probably a huge factor of why it has stayed in Lexington for so long.
