Belhurst Castle

Hospitality Buildings

Belhurst Castle is a former private residence on the shore of Seneca Lake in Geneva, New York. It was designed by the architects Fuller and Wheeler and built between 1885 and 1889 as a three-story, nine-bay Romanesque Revival mansion of Medina sandstone, with towers under conical and pyramidal roofs, eyebrow windows and a porte cochere with a Syrian arch. During Prohibition the building operated as a speakeasy, and it later served as a casino and supper club before its current use as a hotel, restaurant and winery complex. Belhurst Castle was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1987.
