Initially built in 1895, the castle was constructed as a private residence for a French-born Catholic priest and has since served as not only a home but as a sanitarium and - most recently - a museum and tea room.

That's right, folks: According to Miramont Castle employees and guests, the premise is plagued by the paranormal, with reports of everything from a little girl who spends all of her time in the doll room to the spirit of Fr. Jean Baptist Francolon to other lost souls who roam the castle chapel.
