A real, almost medieval, castle (it practically falls apart just like and old buildings) desperately needs a caring owner and financial influences.
Castle of Elda, built in 1929, one of the founders of Abercrombie & Fitch, David Thomas Abercrombie, on sale for $3.69 million. It is located on the extensive grounds of 50 acres in the city of Ossining, and boasts stunning views of the Hudson river. It requires a major overhaul, but the capacity of the structure redeems all with a vengeance. One has only to give him some TLC, and then your fabulous dream home will become a reality.

Creating the project building engaged the owner’s wife, Lucy, who was an architect. She was great, but relatively compact, the castle with four bedrooms and three and a half baths. In addition, the house has an outdoor area with a fireplace and wrought iron staircase that leads to the tower, and nearby is a guest house.

Abercrombie the couple had four children: Elizabeth, Lucy, David and Abbott. The name of the castle is an acronym of their names (Elizabeth, Lucy, David and Abbott — Elda). The building became a refuge for families Abercrombie after two of the children died in a tragic accident: she died during work on a mixture of petrol and paraffin in the laboratory in 1929, and David died in 1937, he was hit in the stomach by a horse.
In 2011, the castle was bought by an investment group and Morgan Immovable Trust for 3.75 million dollars, but now it is sold again as its unprofitable.
