Copenhaver Castle
Photo 90 of 647


This abandoned, medieval castle, which sits in the hills above Phoenix, was constructed by Dr. Mort Copenhaver as a private residence during the 1970s. The exterior was constructed of stone blasted from the nearby mountainside, making it blend seamlessly into the environs.
Although the castle was purchased in 1989 after Copenhaver declared bankruptcy, it has sat vacant for many years awaiting a buyer as the price continues to plummet.
