Breathtaking Views of Hearst Castle

If you thought that castles stopped being built in the 18th century, you probably haven't heard about Hearst Castle in California. This American National and California historic landmark was constructed between 1919 and 1947 for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. Following Hearst's death in 1951, the Hearst Corporation donated the property to the state of California, and since then it had been maintained as a historic park.
  Take a look into one of the most beautiful, antique and majestic estates in the United States, and one of the only remaining furnished castles in the world!
