Our Story
At Overnewton Castle, we are proud to share our rich history and heritage with you. Built in 1849, our castle was commissioned by Scotsman William Taylor, who envisioned a grand homestead on 13,000 acres of lush grazing land. Over the years, our castle has been a refuge, a lookout, and a gathering place for the community. With its six spacious rooms, broad verandas, and picturesque surroundings, it is no wonder that we have become a popular destination for weddings, corporate events, and functions of all kinds.
