This is not a castle in Europe—this is The Elms in Newport, Rhode Island. 🌳 🌿🏛️ Completed in 1901 for coal magnate Edward J. Berwind, this architectural masterpiece was designed by Horace Trumbauer, drawing inspiration from the 18th-century Château d’Asnières in France. ✨ The Elms showcases classical French architecture with a symmetrical façade, ornate detailing, and lavish interiors adorned with marble, gold, and intricate plasterwork. 🌳 The estate is complemented by expansive gardens and fountains, inspired by 18th-century French palace gardens, perfect for a leisurely stroll. #theelms #newportri #castle #chateau #thegildedage
