Happy 4th of July 2024 | Bishop Castle

The Bishop Castle in Rye, Colorado is a 160-foot architectural wonder, single-handedly built by Jim Bishop over 50 years. Starting in 1969, what began as a modest structure inspired by local rocks, has evolved into a breathtaking edifice with intricate towers, a grand ballroom, and a unique fire-breathing dragon made from hospital trays. | Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Bishop's Castle is a favorite place to visit in Colorado. I had no idea what I was getting into when I stepped inside the first time. I later returned and understood its amazing history as well as that of Jim Bishop. This castle is responsible for the epic journey's I would later take. after all, If this was out there, what else was I missing? #bishopcastle #bishopscastle | Colorado Kage

The dragon lives!!! Bishop Castle, the world's largest one-man project, started in 1969 by Jim Bishop, has a fire-breathing dragon! Over 20 years ago, Jim installed a hot air balloon burner in the mouth of the dragon, and it breathed fire for the crowds until about 1999 when it stopped working. It remained inoperable... until now. An old friend of the castle, Randy from Florida, decided he'd like to install a fire cannon and get it going again. Thanks to him, the dragon lives!

One of the few places I can say that about. The early morning is always peaceful allowing me to feel and appreciate its
