Vikingsholm Castle vikingsholm.org 800-777-0369 - 530-525-7277
Considered one of the finest examples of Scandinavian architecture in North America, Vikingsholm Castle sits on the shore of Emerald Bay with astonishing views of Lake Tahoe. Built in 1929, according to the will of Lora J. Knight, a wealthy Chicago widow who purchased this then-isolated site and had it constructed into a Norse fortress from 800 A.D., Vikingsholm represents a unique blend of art and history.
