OUR CASTLE
Originally constructed in 1849, Overnewton Castle was the masterpiece of Scotsman William Taylor. He commissioned an illustrious single-story homestead on 13,000 acres of lush grazing land situated to the west side of Keilor township. Featuring six spacious rooms and broad verandas that overlooked a picturesque village below; it served as both refuge and lookout during 1850’s bustling gold rush.
With two schools erected nearby along with a bridge connecting locals more easily than before, it was a popular stopping point on the Victorian Goldfields map. These days the castle is frequented as a destination for a high tea, wedding venue or castle tour.
Conveniently Located For: Keilor, Taylors Lakes, St Albans, Tullamarine, Sunshine, Sunbury, Melton, Craigieburn, Werribee, Gisborne, Bacchus Marsh, Western Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Eastern Suburbs, Melbourne CBD, Victoria
