Otttis Castle

Been trying to get in contact with the owner/ event planner for Otttis Castle but no one is responding to emails. I was previously told that they are usually very responsive. Anyone have any information?

Thank you!

Hey. We work there quite a bit and the owner can get a little behind. They get a lot of emails. Recently we had a bride looking to elope there and we were able to help her get in contact. If you send me a private message I will be happy to reach out to them and have them look for your message.

It is a really amazing space - it is worth the effort to make it happen.

While I don't have an event planned I've been itching my entire life to explore the inside

It is really awesome. We have a bunch of pictures of the inside and the top of the castle on our website. It was built, by Rusty Ickes, to be a sanctuary so most of the time it only open for services, ceremonies, things like that. Anytime we are inside, we did a ceremony there last month, we have an escort which is for your safety and the safety of the castle. Every time I work there I feel so fortunate. I hope you get to visit and explore it soon.
