Information:
You can see the top of this unusual structure from Highway 1, just north of St. Augustine. They were having a wedding when we pulled up by the gate, but the security kid told us we could come back on Sunday at 1 for a tour. Here's the write up from their website:
"Castle Otttis was created as an original landscape-sculpture "Done in Remembrance of Jesus Christ." The dictionary defines a landscape-sculpture as a structure built to adorn or to view the landscape. Castle Otttis is done of an impression of an Irish castle of a 1000 years ago. The interior was created under guidance of historians from the Catholic Diocese of Northeast Florida to replicate an atmosphere of an Abbey (or Christian church) in Ireland during the same period.
The Castle is also made available for an interdenominational Christian worship service each Sunday from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 noon (weather permitting). At the conclusion of the service the Castle can be viewed from 12:00 noon until 1:00 p.m. It is not necessary to attend the service to view the building. All who come in a dignified fashion are welcome regardless of belief or background."
