Penn Castle

History

Built by the grandson of the founder of the US state of Pennsylvania – hence the name Pennsylvania Castle – the history of The Penn stretches all the way back to 1797. With its battlement parapets and large bay windows, The Penn’s distinct blend of Gothic revival architecture and modern renovation give this enchanting mansion a fairytale feel.

With stunning sea views, idyllic gardens and luxurious suites, Pennsylvania Castle is the perfect venue for the fairytale wedding of your dreams. Whether you’re planning a relaxed yet intimate gathering of close friends and family, or a more glamorous and grandiose affair, The Penn offers a variety of luxurious indoor and outdoor ceremonies.
