Phoenix, Arizona is a great place to go for a visit. You can spend a great day there or take a couple weeks and explore the whole city. If you have already hit the usual attractions and are looking for something different to do, I have just the ticket for you. You should go visit the Mystery Castle. It is an attraction that you are sure to enjoy it.


The Mystery Castle was built by an interesting man named Boyce Luther Gulley between 1930 and 1945 for his daughter. Mr. Hulley came to Phoenix originally to try to cure his Tuberculosis. While building the castle for his beloved daughter he used stones from his property to construct an 18 room castle. The castle is 3 stories tall and has 13 fireplaces , a grotto tavern and many more unique touches. Mr. Gulley truly went all out in building this structure for his daughter. He even filled it with antiques and other oddities to make it more special. When you arrive at the castle you can take a guided tour which will be led by Mary Lou Gulley. Mrs. Gulley is the daughter for whom Boyce built the castle. She will tell you stories about the building of the unique castle and about her father who regained his health while building the Mystery Castle. It is an interesting tour and one that you will fully enjoy. If nothing else it will give you some stories to tell when you get home.
