History of Stronghold Castle
This Tudor style home, known as the "Castle’, was constructed in 1929 by Walter A. Strong, the owner & publisher of the Chicago Daily News. A quarry was opened by Mr. Strong to provide stone for the castle, and it was completed in 1931. Strong envisioned a summer home away from Chicago to allow his children to experience nature.
The 360-acre property, that offers gorgeous views of the Rock River, was purchased in 1963 by the Presbyterian Church PC(USA) to provide opportunities for the people “to experience a vision for the human community through a retreat and camping environment."
Since 1963, Stronghold has operated summer camps including mission groups and volunteer projects. Today, Stronghold continues to offer opportunities for summer camps, weddings, reunions, banquets, retreats, group bonding retreats, family camping and much more.
