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.
You can see interior photos of this site in my post on Lambert Castle, Part 2.

To read about the history of the Castle check out the website of the Passaic County Historical Society.
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.
Thanks for visiting New Jersey Memories!

these are lovely photos and those stain glass windows are amazing. I think I've driven by this place but never visited.
I stopped by via Outdoor Wednesday.

Me too! I get a lot of 'orbs' in my photos too. I wonder if they are your orbs or ancestral orbs for the castle?
