The castle, built thirty years ago was heavily damaged. Flames filled the night sky as the castle burned for hours. The property, located on Versailles Road, was built by real-estate developer Rex Martin. He built it for his first wife Caroline. The Martins, never lived in the castle; they divorced in 1975 before it was finished. Martin died last August and the castle was then sold to Miami, Florida real-estate investor Thomas R. Post. I don't know, at this point, how much of it survived. -------------------- Poet and seeker of knowledge

There's a castle south of Nashville, near Triune, where the TN Renaissance Festival is held. During the festival they gave tours of the castle (at least in years past). Although it wasn't finished when I toured it, it was wonderful to see. -------------------- Randal Smith alias Smitty the Kid Wielder of the Six-String Claymore!

It is sad when a castle goes down. I loved driving by the one in Lexington, KY. It was a camelot style and it always amazed me that no one had bought it. -------------------- So, I have an new site that is pretty neat, Check out Dannah's Home Page Also, for original storys or thoughts from me, check out my blog: Dannah's Blog

Maybe mix in a smoke detector next time. Sorry for the loss but it didn't need to happen. Did they spend all the money on the plastic dragons?

If a tree falls in the forest, and noone is around to hear it, does it make a sound? I doubt anyone was in or near the castle when the fire started. Lightening is suspected as the cause.
