Mugdock Castle, SC

Mugdock Castle is Charleston's landmark, infused with history and charm. The two buildings, consisting of a Gothic Winter Hall (c. 1891) and a Romanesque Summer Hall (c. 2009), are joined by a central staircase tower to form the region's true low-country beach castle. This house is one of the most solidly built buildings of the time and truly captures the luxury of design simplicity that reflects the comfort and practicality of a full-fledged modern beach chateau.
