Overnewton Castle
Originally constructed in 1849, Overnewton Castle was the
masterpiece of Scotsman William Taylor. He commissioned an illustrious
single-story homestead on 13,000 acres of lush grazing land situated to the
west side of Keilor township. Featuring six spacious rooms and broad verandas
that overlooked a picturesque village below; it served as both refuge and
lookout during 1850’s bustling gold rush.
With two schools erected nearby along with a bridge
connecting locals more easily than before, it was a popular stopping point on
the Victorian Goldfields map. These days
the castle is frequented as a destination for a high tea, wedding venue or
castle tour.
