Step into the enchantment of the castle grounds with Overnight Stays, Day Visits, Photoshoots, Events and more! UHUBURG, or Eagle Owl Castle is a philosophical place dedicated to how humankind has tried to understand life. It is situated on a mountain top among 44 acres of woodlands just north west of the Alpine Bavarian town of Helen in the North Georgia mountains. As a medieval renaissance castle with many accessible high turrets, 1300 foot defensive wall, and three gate houses, it serves as an educational citadel of epistemology of how life was understood through out the ages and depicted through artistic in multi-media in presentations via murals, sculpture, gardens, discussions and experiences. The surrounding enchanted forest is a botanical display of natural fauna, unusual specimen plants and trees, and restoration of trees not grown there 100's of thousands of years. Also we are attempting to grow food that would allow some degree of self sustaining healthy lifestyle. Facilities will include 28 x 48 Great Hall for meetings, parties, and weddings, craft workshop, small amphitheater, multiple gardens, private gardens, labyrinth, vineyard, ten guest rooms and suites, archery field course, astronomy lab, lookout towers, gift shop, orchard, and more. UHUBURG was begun September 2008 with the clearing of the orchard and mountain top and the building of the road, bridge and utilities. September 2009, the first cornerstone was laid on the East Gate House. At the time of this writing January 2013, the wall is complete with he East and North Gate Houses roughed in and the South Gate House foundation being laid out. It is expected that all the three gate houses will be completed this year and the central main house/keep will be begun. Hopefully, 2015 will be the year of the grand opening to the public

Enjoy a taste of the season in the vineyard at Uhuburg Castle ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ

During these fall harvest weeks, join Janine in the vineyard on Day Visits and learn how to tell when these sweet Southern grapes are perfectly ripe. There's nothing like eating vine-ripened muscadines right in the field! Try them out in the vineyard and take a bag home with you from the Gift Shop.

Find out at the Red Gates when the vineyard is open. Shine only, not if it's raining.
