An insane Gothic castle in Connecticut is still on sale for $45 million
Known as Chrismark Castle, it was the brainchild of Christopher Mark who is the great-grandson of Chicago steel tycoon Clayton Mark Senior. Mark bought 354 acres of land and started building his giant 20-room mansion 12 years ago, according to Connecticut Magazine
The house, which looks like a castle out of a fairytale, took 7 years and $4.1 million to build. People from the town would often stop by just to get a glimpse of the home and curiosity swelled as it neared completion.
Chrismark Castle has also seen a fair amount of drama. Mark reportedly lived there with his now ex-wife and their two children until she filed for divorce in 2010. He later moved his then-pregnant girlfriend into the castle with her older daughter, but that relationship also ended and she took Mark to court in New York City to pay additional child support, according to The New York Post.
Mark was rumored to have tried to start multiple businesses on the property, including a modeling business, a bed and breakfast, and a private zoo.
The home went on sale for $45 million last year, and so far, it's still on the market. Keep scrolling to see what it would be like to live in this modern castle.
