Leland Castle (also known as Castle View) is a 19th century Gothic revival castle located on the campus of the College of New Rochelle in New Rochelle, New York.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and the New York State Register in 1980.[1] [2] The castle was originally the residence of Simeon Leland, a wealthy New York City hotel proprietor. Mr. Leland began to assemble an estate as early as 1848, and in 1855 began the erection of a palatial mansion of sixty rooms.[3] It was completed in four years, taking fifty thousand days' labor. The home was designed by New York architect William Thomas Beers. A north and south wing were added to the castle in 1899 and 1902 respectively.[4]
