Bishop Castle Gatehouse Bridge Progress

This is Adrian Hart with your Southeast Colorado news on seconews.org at one of my favorite locations in Colorado. Bishop's Castle hand built by Jim Bishop since he was 15 years old.
I've been watching it go up for decades since I was a young child, of course, coming up here, taking family trips to see the progress each Summer, Spring, we hope you, of course, make it up here just outside of Rye, Colorado to see Bishop's Castle. Certainly one of Colorado's coolest attractions.
Mr. Bishop just around the corner telling tales of building a castle by hand, his son's working on a gift shop, and actually doing some new construction, just over here:
Sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Fine woodwork when most of the castle is built out of wrought iron and stonework hand cut and carved beautifully over a lifetime. He bought the property when he was 15 years old and every time I've been here he has been here building on his castle.
We can see the highway from here, the gatehouse; like these people are saying "we haven't even gotten to the castle yet."
But here's the new construction, that's why I'm doing this video to highlight the new woodwork going on. Jim Bishop's son above head right now working on it.
Couple feature articles coming up on bishops castle. Gonna take a closer look at his built not bought masterpiece, just outside of Rye in the San Isabel National Forest. It's highly trafficked by tourists.
As he's told me, it's built with his bare hands, and a donation box.
One of my favorite features - the stained glass windows of Bishop's Castle.
SECO News Photography Feature:
The Stained Glass of Bishop Castle
Of course you can buy a memorial pane of stained glass, or you can hold a wedding here.
When I was in college we used to throw raves here till they said we couldn't anymore.
So if you get up here, outside of Rye, Colorado please make a donation.
Privately owned and built, highly trafficked - one of Colorado's feature destinations - Bishop's Castle in Rye, Colorado.
