Despite its Medieval elements, the Bull Run Castle is a relatively new addition to the Loudoun County landscape. In 1986, a man by the name of John Roswell Miller decided to quit his job and pursue a dream of building a real-live castle as his home. Just a stone's throw away from Route 15 in Aldie, the castle is a true feat of imagination and architecture. The process of building the castle took 10 years to complete. When Miller first purchased the property, it was a modest corn field.

When the castle was open to visitors, it was advertised as a romantic bed and breakfast. For approximately $60 per night, guests could stay in this picturesque castle and have a made-to-order breakfast cooked by Miller himself.

While the business is no longer in operation, those interested in viewing the castle can do so from afar. Even at a distance, you can marvel at the impressive 4 3/4-inch iron shod front door.

Other impressive features of this one-of-a-kind building include 14 interior closets and a whopping total of 89 windows. Who knows...perhaps one day the castle will again be open for public viewing. Until then, admiring it from a respectable distance will have to do.

The Bull Run Castle is located along Route 15, just two miles south of Hwy. 50.
