Hearst Castle

Hearst Castle

One can't imagine the size of this estate until you take the tour. Or, should I say a tour, since the castle is so big that they offer five touring options. William Randolph Hearst hailed from a wealthy family that had established itself in the silver trade. William made himself into a multimillionaire through the publishing industry. He constructed this 165-room castle-ish complex and stocked it full of lavish art and accessories. The display of wealth borders on obscene. Still though, it’s worth seeing once. I recommend calling in advance at 805/927-2020 or referencing the website for details on which tour is right for you (if any). See www.hearst-castle.org.
