Belvedere Castle is located in the middle of Central Park, at around 79th Street, now strictly speaking its not a castle, but a folly, or fake castle or made to look like a castle, it was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1867–1869, in an architectural hybrid of Gothic and Romanesque styles

It contains exhibit rooms and an observation deck, and since 1919, also houses the official Central Park weather station.

Even though it is a folly, I still love seeing it when I walk throughthe park, but have never been into see the exhibits as I mostly pass by it on early morning walks before work and well before it opens

Belvedere Castle was originally built as a shell with open doorway and window openings,The main tower was given a more medieval design, with a weather antenna on top, but during the castle's 1983 renovation, the tower was restored to a German style with a flag, a weather vane, and an anemometer on top. The two fanciful wooden pavilions deteriorated without painting and upkeep and were removed before 1900

Old stone look makes it fascinating, being a castle or not it adds character to the park. Nice to learn some of the history found in this massive park in the middle of a city.
@bambuka(77)· 2465d
The castle among the greenery looks just fabulous. I kept waiting for the photos taken from the observation deck to appear. Maybe it is closed to the public? :D
@the.melvo(51)· 2466d

That is so interesting! I learn more about New York City through your walks and posts! My husband and I are in Branson, MO for a 3 day getaway. Taking a short break from substituting! Hoping to go on a hike and maybe see a show. I hope Denise is coming back to post on Steemit soon! I need to go over to her blog. Have a great Thursday!

What a neat folly @tattoodjay! From the photos I would have thought it was real, lol Glad to hear it has been restored and maintained, it's a nice centerpiece for Central Park visitors to see. :)
@manorvillemike(73)· 2466d
Impressive fake :-)
@mers(72)· 2466d
A nice castle with a fine observation Deck. We also have Belvedere Castle in Vienna but it´s more of a Palace with lovely gardens.
@bozz(83)· 2466d
I am a big fan of castles so when I visited Central Park I knew I had to come see this. I think it was closed because they are doing some kind of renovations on it, but I got a lot of pictures of the outside of it.
