On our way home from Pennsylvania we stopped for gas and noticed this abandoned castle across the street. Of course we had to check it out. It is a cool place to see, but definitely gives off a creepy vibe.

Looks like the heavy equipment is for all the roadwork going on around the castle. We were coming north and exit 106 is moved, so our GPS had to reroute us. Worth the little detour.

The Casino Castle is right next to the entrance ramp to the interstate. You can't really drive in the parking lot from what we saw, but you can see it as you go by.
