Belvedere Castle
Belvedere Castle Central Park
On an Actifit post, I showed a shot of Belvedere Castle in Central Park with a shot taken with my iPhone at that time I also took some shots with my CSony Camera and I will share those in this post, Starting with a shot of the Castle across one of the fields in the park.

Belvedere Castle is located in the middle of Central Park, at around 79th Street, now strictly speaking its not a castle, but a folly, or fake castle or made to look like a castle, it was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1867–1869, in an architectural hybrid of Gothic and Romanesque styles

It contains exhibit rooms and an observation deck, and since 1919, also houses the official Central Park weather station.

Even though it is a folly, I still love seeing it when I walk throughthe park, but have never been into see the exhibits as I mostly pass by it on early morning walks before work and well before it opens

Belvedere Castle was originally built as a shell with open doorway and window openings,The main tower was given a more medieval design, with a weather antenna on top, but during the castle's 1983 renovation, the tower was restored to a German style with a flag, a weather vane, and an anemometer on top. The two fanciful wooden pavilions deteriorated without painting and upkeep and were removed before 1900

That castle looks pretty cool and impressive, especially on the first two images - very nice photos 😊
This park is so !DERANGED big and you show us so many things which not only I didn't know are there.

!BEER
It is such a huge park only !DERANGED people like me who love waking see mos tot it, and I saw most as I am sure I haven’t seen it all
!BEER
So, there might still be some places you could discover for us ... maybe some !DERANGED pieces of art or even a !BEER brewery? ... cool 🙂
I will keep walking and exploring like a !DERANGED madmen on a !BEER driven quest while I still work here :)
I have just googled breweries in New York and there is a !DERANGED number of BEER breweries in the city ;)
I did the same and then looked at Street View, none of them looked that photogenic, how !DERANGED is that
!BEER
I have seen some of our breweries, and none of these looks somehow nice or photogenic neither, but some breweries have old inns nearby, which look most times quite more interesting.

!DERANGED
What would be more photogenic are some of the small boutique !BEER breweries I should look for some of those if I do not become to !DERANGED

That is so interesting! I learn more about New York City through your walks and posts! My husband and I are in Branson, MO for a 3 day getaway. Taking a short break from substituting! Hoping to go on a hike and maybe see a show. I hope Denise is coming back to post on Steemit soon! I need to go over to her blog. Have a great Thursday!

Want to have your post on the map too?
Wao, what a beautiful castle.
It is wonderful!
It is such a cool thing to see inthe park
I am a big fan of castles so when I visited Central Park I knew I had to come see this. I think it was closed because they are doing some kind of renovations on it, but I got a lot of pictures of the outside of it.
Funny thing is I have worked here so many years and never bene inside it with just over 3 months to go its time I did the touristy thing in places like this
A nice castle with a fine observation Deck. We also have Belvedere Castle in Vienna but it´s more of a Palace with lovely gardens.
Thanks and I am sure yours is more grand
Impressive fake :-)
They do fake well here LOL
What a neat folly @tattoodjay! From the photos I would have thought it was real, lol Glad to hear it has been restored and maintained, it's a nice centerpiece for Central Park visitors to see. :)
It is so well done for sure i love walking around it
