[post_page_title]Bannerman Castle: Pollepel Island, New York[/post_page_title]
Believe it or not, this abandoned castle was built to be a storage space for Francis Bannerman VI. Bannerman built the castle in 1900 after buying an American military surplus back from the Spanish after the war. In 1920, a large collection of explosives went off inside the castle, leaving it in ruins and rendering it pretty much useless. Now, Bannerman’s Castle is the property of the New York State Parks Office and is slowly collapsing piece by piece. In 2015, a woman named Angelika Graswald was murdered by her fiance on the abandoned castle grounds.
