Castle Mont Rouge: Abandoned No More

Please do not visit the castle if you do not have an appointment. I know this video makes it seem like it's "out in the middle of nowhere", but red mountain is home to a neighborhood, and this video barely addressed that the main reason the sheriff got involved and out up a gate against trespassers is because all of the cars that come through visiting end up tearing up our roads and driveways, and everyone always made their turns to leave in this sweet little old lady's driveway which absolutely destroyed it. There's a bunch of pot holes in the road up the mountain from all the castlegoers, and it's really a Shame.

Robert seems like such a nice guy. His positive energy is infectious.

About 10 years ago I lived in a neighboring community of Bahama, NC. Neighbors told me about this marvelous structure and I knew I had to visit and I did. As I approached the castle I was blown away and when I went inside and quietly walked thru it I was mesmerized…..truly my mind was captured by this awesome structure. I was very sad to see windows broken and other evidence of vandalism and I was angry at the human race for producing such evil misfits that had to smash up this work of art as a way to feel joy. I am glad this talented man put up a fence to protect his awesome piece of work. He appears to be a gentle spirit and I hope he can find the money to continue on with his dream. Thank you for uploading this video. I think if you two form a broadcast team and start posting videos of the progress, many like me will watch and viewership will explode hopefully generating income for his work. Maybe in addition to updates on the castle you two could feature some of his sculptures and the stories behind them. A patreon account would generate income as we get to see the progress. Just because of this post I will subscribe to your channel.

Im glad hes started back on it.

I really LOVE this! Robert is a pat of butter on a sea of grits! I am so thankful he allowed us to shoot Crystal Bright's "CHOKE" music video there!

Amazing story, amazing guy and amazing interview. Another excellent video!

The property has great potential to be a huge tourist attraction, but it seems like the neighbors might be a nuisance. He would have to fight in court to get things accomplished.

Thank you for taking the time to get the real story. I hope people will let that man have some peace and let people see his finished project if he chooses to invite them.

Saw this years ago and it's beauty mesmerized me! Can't stop dreaming about it!! ❤

I’ve worked on that castle and that’s actually where I’m going to work at tomorrow. Robert is the man, I have never met a man like him.

Great video and I'm so happy that Robert is continuing his work on Mont Rouge! It is beautiful now and I'm sure it will be spectacular when he's finished. I hope me meets his deadline for his daughter's sweet 16! <3

Wanna visit that Masterpeice myself, it looks Fun.

Nicely done!

What a wonderful video!! Great work.

amazing castle and video, thanks for sharing! Did he mention if anything paranormal has happened lately?

This "castle" is a public nuance to the people that live in the neighborhood it was built in. People drive in and out like they never learned how to drive to see this monstrosity and disregard / disrespect the people that have lived on the road long before this was even built. They sling dust and rocks and don't consider the safety of the childern that ride their bikes on the dirt road or the pets that the community members have. The man building it also has no respect for his neighbors and only wants to start "working" on this again because the county was going to condemn it because of the hazard it was causing to the people going up there all hours of the day and night just to explore this giant stucco eyesore. The man is leeching money out of people making them think he's trying to fix it for the good of his family and the community, making it seem like a loss of great art if he didn't start working on it now.
