Gillette Castle

East Haddam

This medieval stone castle was built by William Gillette, the actor who made Sherlock Holmes famous, and it shows: hidden staircases, spy mirrors to watch guests, and a prankster's spirit in every room. The guided tour through two dozen wood-and-stone chambers feels like stepping into a mystery movie.
