Havencrest Castle - Savanna, Illinois

Michaela McGinn

Absolutely incredible! Havencrest Castle is a true treasure, and the generosity of Mr. St. George and his staff in opening the home to the public is remarkable. Walking through the castle feels like stepping into a living work of art, crafted with love and devotion.

The highlight of the experience is hearing the soul-stirring love story of Mr. St. George and his late wife, Adrianne. Their story is woven into every room, every detail, and every breathtaking piece of decor. It’s an emotional journey that will leave you deeply moved .

If you’re in the area during the open tour months, do yourself a favor and visit Havencrest Castle. It’s an unforgettable experience that will fill your heart with awe.

I have never been anywhere like this! The attention to detail, the placing of each treasure and object just so is really special! You are walking through history and art and love all art once. The gift shop does close at 5, so get what you want first. However, I recommend coming in the afternoon. I spent$25 on a ticket online. Well worth the small fees. We spent over an hour and a half walking through it.

I looked ahead as to when they have tours (limited). Purchased tickets a month in advance. The tour was truly amazing, and there was so much to see!!! This place is above and beyond what we thought it would be! A true treasure. My husband as a kid lived in what is now the gift shop do of course we had to visit.

I absolutely love this place! I admire the couple who built their dream together and created such a gorgeous place once a home and now a full blown castle. The artwork is superb. I have been there twice and still would love to go back through it. The details and creativity is amazing ? It continues to have additions every year, such a classic!

I think the $25 maybe a bit much, took us less then a hour to go thru it, granted we didn't listen to the audio tour as we went thru. Some of the rooms are over the top and too busy, but it's a beautiful place and home and great to look at everything. And got to love the love story and their love for each other! Definitely worth a visit

The art and interior design in this home is so neat! The entire home is a portrait of the love story belonging to the St. Georges. Each room has a different theme and every room was given the same time, intricate detail and attention. And in every room you'll spot artwork depicting the couple in that time period or geography. Almost feels as if you're traveling the world while out on a stroll.

Mr. Alan St. George still lives in the home so the house is only open to the public on the weekends in May and October. We did get to meet Mr. St. George at the end of the tour and would love to do the VIP tour with him as the guide when we return.

There is a fair amount of walking and stairs and I would recommend giving yourself at least one hour to walk through the home.

Definitely worth seeing at least once!

Magnificent, magical home! self guided tour, and got to meet Alan! A great day spent with my parents, and we got autographed books. Alan St. George was kind enough to sit with us for a few minutes and talk. So glad we went!
