A World-Class Historic Private Estate

As one of the few genuine private castles in the United States, Thornewood is not only a world-class historic site – it's also our home, a magnificent location for Seattle/Tacoma weddings and receptions, and the most romantic getaway in Washington State. 

Where is Thornewood Castle?

Thornewood Castle is located on the shore of American Lake in Lakewood, WA - 12 miles south of Tacoma and 42 miles south of Seattle in Washington State, USA.
