Newport - take a chance to visit the Belcourt Castle
Newport has a number of impressive structures, but none can surpass the elegance of Belfort Castle, which looks like it has been lifted straight from Versailles in France, with its magnificent building and gardens. Completed in 1894 it was at that time one of the most expensive private homes in the country, and was home to Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, a bachelor at that time. The building was restored in the mid 20th century using 13 century stained glass and renaissance furniture and paintings from Europe.
