Photos of Hearst Castle

Hearst Castle is located on the San Simeon waterfront in central California. 1. The main building of Hearst Castle, which was built for 26 years but not completed, is commonly known as the "big house", with 115 rooms and a construction area of 6,400 square meters. It is marked by the bell towers of the two Spanish Catholic churches. In addition to the main building, there are three annex buildings with 50 rooms named after the sea, the mountain and the sun. 2. Visiting routes There are several visiting routes in the old castle, each with its own emphasis, namely GrandRoomsMuseumTour, UpstairsSuitesTour, Cottages&KitchenTour and EveningTour. After purchasing the ticket, take the shuttle bus up the mountain at the passenger bus waiting area at the entrance. 3. Tour guide On the way up the mountain, visitors can look out at the Hearst Castle on the top of the mountain through the car window. When you come to the downstairs of the main building, you can see the beautifully carved outer wall of the main building and the tall clock towers on both sides. The balcony on the second floor is the balcony of Hearst's bedroom. , The stone carvings on the outer frame of the gate are statues of Spanish Goths in the 15th century. Exquisitely carved stone carvings can be seen everywhere in the living room, 17th-century Italian wooden ceilings in the dining room, and the swimming pool of the "Poseidon Pool" in front of the main building undoubtedly reveal the luxurious atmosphere of this private castle.
