In summary, the Castle is a unique bluestone building positioned on a significant four hectare site in Olinda. Its first owner was wealthy Miss Lydia Reid but the builder had many difficulties with its construction and the Castle was not lived in for a long period. Successive caretakers lived in a timber cottage on the grounds. Apart from the buildings, the site contains magnificent gardens. The Gordons, brother and sister, became the owners around 1970. The property has since changed hands.
