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.
