This unlikely castle is getting a celebrity makeover

Constructed in the 1970s, this unusual castle is located in Birmingham, Alabama. While it was built with care by a local family, the property was later abandoned and fell into a chronic state of disrepair. Now ready to start a new chapter, the house was recently bought by a reality TV star who is planning to bring it back from the brink. Thanks to photographer Leland Kent of Abandoned Southeast, we can take a tour of the castle and find out what's in store for this unusual home. Click or scroll on to find out more...
