Did you know we have a sprawling castle hidden in a small town in the Volunteer State? The University of the South is located in Sewanee, Tennessee, and it is one of the most breathtaking campuses in the state. The property reminds me of the magical world of Hogwarts; and, surrounding it, you’ll be immersed in a mountainous wilderness perfect for any nature lover. And if you happen to visit during a winter snow, be prepared to find yourself totally taken by Sewanee, Tennessee.

Starting with the campus of the University of the South, the massive stone masterpieces stand out in a light covering of snow. The gentle falling snowflakes grace the tall spires and flutter down in front of large, stunning windows.

The whole place brings to mind the story of Narnia and is nothing short of magical. As snow piles onto the grass, the pathways are the only thing separating you from the sea of white.

Foggy mornings are especially stunning, bringing a calming glow to this small town. The thick fog swirls in and out of the mountain peaks and settles nicely among the castle structures of this local college.
