Miramont Castle Museum

Miramont Castle is a Victorian-era historic castle and museum in Manitou Springs, Colorado, owned and operated by the Manitou Springs Historical Society. Built in the early 1890s by French-born priest Father Jean Baptiste Francolon, the castle blends nine architectural styles — including Romanesque, English Tudor, Flemish stepped gables, and Byzantine — across more than 14,000 square feet and 40 rooms. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977, the castle stair-steps up the mountainside with exits on all four levels and features eight-sided rooms, a third-floor solarium, arched windows, and a grand staircase showcasing two distinct window styles side by side. Private events are hosted in three distinct spaces: the Solarium, with 18-foot ceilings and 12-foot windows overlooking Red Mountain; the Victorian Gardens, where colorful seasonal blooms set the scene for outdoor ceremonies; and the 100-foot-long Great Hall, suited for receptions of up to 70 guests. Catering is provided by the castle's Queen's Parlour Tearoom. The venue is mobility-accessible via a porte-cochère entrance and chair lift.
