Lucknow Castle in the Clouds, New Hampshire

Lucknow Castle in the Clouds was built in 1914.
Click on Lucknow to access the history of the castle. It felt really homey.
The gate house welcomed us to the property.

On the way to the top, we enjoyed the colors

and stopped to hike up to a 50-foot waterfall, named falls of song, considered to be Little Yosemite of the East,

We took a pathway to the top of the falls and Paul got close enough to take a picture from the top.

above the falls, we could see another smaller one.


This house was amazing, especially when you consider when it was built, in 1914! It had
"needle" showers in each of the bathrooms,

an central vacuum system along with an intercom system

player pipe organ, which could be heard down on the lake

interlocking rubber flooring in the kitchen,

green granite fireplace which took 3 years to mine the matching granite on the property itself,

gold marble granite fireplace,

over 20 painted "roundels", or circle glass,

and a Tiffany skylight.

Views at the back of the house.


View of the side.

The front of the house was inviting


A former greenhouse had a heated walkway.

Views of Lake Winnepisaukee were fabulous!


This was the original stables/carriage house, now housing the welcome center and a restaurant. The tables are in the old stable.

Zeus is a 7-foot high Belgian Draft horse that lives on the property. He was amazingly TALL!!

As we exited, this was the gate house on the north side of the property.
