Facts and practical information

The Grand Castle is a multi-family residential development in Grandville, Michigan with 520 apartment units. The Grand Castle's design was inspired by the Neuschwanstein Castle and it has been described "as the second largest castle structure in the world." Area architects are unimpressed, describing the structure as “post-capitalist absurdism,” “gaudy,” “ill-conceived,” "an eyesore," “misguided,” and “gimmicky.” ()
