Description
Explore a unique medieval-style castle turned museum, Glencairn Castle, on a captivating 90-minute guided tour.
Discover its evolution from a family home to a religious art haven, starting in the awe-inspiring Great Hall. Uncover spiritual beliefs across ages in three art-filled galleries, and step into preserved family spaces like the chapel and main bedroom. Elevate your experience with a tower ascent for panoramic views of the area and the Philadelphia skyline.
Adjacent to Glencairn, the Bryn Athyn Cathedral stands as a masterpiece embodying the spiritual beliefs of the New Church. Built over a century ago by 300 local artisans during the American Arts & Crafts Movement, the cathedral showcases old-world craftsmanship. Admire the cathedral's unique features, from locally quarried granite to property-harvested ceiling timbers, medieval stained glass, and Monel metal accents.
