Lambert Castle

Lambert Castle in Paterson, New Jersey has an interesting past.

Paterson, New Jersey had many silk mills, was known as “The Silk City” in the 1800s and has a strong labor and union history.

Catholina Lambert owned one of the silk mills and built his home (known at “Belle Vista”) on the side of Garret Mountain, which is part of First Watchung Mountain.

From his home, he could see Paterson spreading out below him and New York City was in the distance.

2022 Updates:

 

The Castle has been closed since late 2019 for 3 years of renovations. 

 

The COVID pandemic probably delayed things further.

 

You can check up on the progress of the renovations on their Facebook page.
