Previously, we featured castles found in the Old Line State here. Today, we’re combining nine of these magnificent structures into one enchanting road trip. Some are now wedding venues and others are armories or schools. While you may not be able to enter all of these places, you can call in advance to tour a few, or feel free to snap photos of the magical exteriors.
Click here to follow along with the Google map. While we organized this trip from east to west, you can also rearrange the locations to your liking. Ready to explore Maryland’s most enchanting castles? Let’s go!
