Hearst Castle

Hearst Castle is a park on the central California coast and a National Historical Landmark. It was designed by Julia Morgan for William Randolph Hearst from 1919 to 1947. In 1957, the owner donated the fortune to the state of California. Since that time it has been a state historic park where its large collection of art and antiques are open for public tours. Though it's far from any city centre, the site attracts about one million visitors every year.

Guided Tours

● Tour 1 is recommended for first-time visitors. It now includes the movie, Hearst Castle: Building the Dream.

● Tour 2 gives visitors a closer look at the main house's upper floors, Mr Hearst's private suite, the libraries, and the kitchen.

● Tour 3 looks at the Castle's North Wing, guest rooms and guest house Casa del Monte.

● Tour 4 includes the impressive gardens and grounds, the largest guest house, the wine basement, and the Hidden Terrace.
