From the reviews

As a World Solo Traveler; I chose Rochester NY as my Latest Destination. (Also to visit Family) I have always been intrigued by ANY Historical Landmarks or Distinguished Locations.

★★★★★ — Beverly, Oct 2024

There are a few bad reviews because the castle isn't open to the public. The building is the headquarters for The Landmark Society of Western NY, a professional, regional, historic preservation nonprofit. It's not a house museum nor are there exhibits to look at.

★★★★★ — Megan, Jan 2024

Warner Castle is a charming and beautiful small castle. Its historic architecture and well-maintained gardens make it a delightful spot to explore. Perfect for a quick visit, it's a hidden gem that adds a touch of old-world charm to the area.

★★★★☆ — Sarthak, Jul 2024

This castle is small but looks very old, little scary under the full moon night…..
