Lambert Castle, Part 2 | Paterson, New Jersey
Lambert Castle
Last week I showed you some exteriors of Lambert Castle in Paterson, New Jersey.
This week I will show you some of the lovely interiors of the castle.
The stained glass window in the last photo was created in tribute to a Lambert daughter, who died when she was 24.
Despite their wealth, the Lambert family suffered many tragedies.

UPDATE 2022: The Castle has been closed since late 2019 for 3 years of renovations.
The COVID pandemic probably delayed things further.
You can check up on the progress of the renovations on their Facebook page.

Lambert Castle in Paterson, Part 1 | Paterson, New Jersey
Lambert Castle
Lambert Castle in Paterson, New Jersey has an interesting past.
Paterson, New Jersey had many silk mills, and was known as “The Silk City” in the 1800s and has a strong labor and union history.
Catholina Lambert owned one of the silk mills and built his home (known at "Belle Vista") on the side of Garret Mountain, which is part of First Watchung Mountain.
From his home, he could see Paterson spreading out below him and New York City was in the distance.
You can see interior photos of this site in my post Lambert Castle, Part 2.

UPDATE 2022: The Castle has been closed since late 2019 for 3 years of renovations.
