👑 When you conjure up images of gothic castles with pointed arches and stained-glass windows, you probably aren’t thinking about castles in Illinois. However, there’s an incredible 63 room castle 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 in Savanna.

havencrestcastle is owned by acclaimed artist Alan St. George who also lives in the mansion with his handsome greyhound, Prince. The 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝟔𝟑-𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 hilltop home is filled with over three decades of love and art.

The ballroom has 24 life-sized figures and the Memorial Hall is the only place 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 🌏 where you can see full-sized, historically accurate replicas of the Titanic’s Grand Staircase, Dining Saloon, and the famous clock.

✨ Viewers can experience the magic, 𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, and splendor of the castle by obtaining tour tickets for Saturdays and Sundays in October. The self-guided tour of this one-of-a-kind treasure includes original art and sculptures created by the owner including 24 life-sized figures and 21 bronze and aluminum tabletop sculptures.
