Mystery Castle is located in the city of Phoenix, Arizona in the foothills of South Mountain Park. It was built in the 1930s by Boyce Gulley (died 1945) for his daughter Mary Lou Gulley, who as of 2005 still resides there and personally leads tours.
Held together by a combination of mortar, cement, calcium, and goat milk, the sprawling 18-room, three story castle is built from a wide range of materials—stone, adobe, automobile parts, salvaged rail tracks from a mine, telephone poles, etc. It features a chapel, cantina, and a dungeon. Parts of the castle remain unfinished, and electricity and plumbing weren't added until 1992.
