ABOUT RUBEL CASTLE

Rubel Castle is a monumental folk architecture site nestled in the foothills of Glendora. It was built by hand by Michael Rubel and his "pharmhands" over several decades. Its stone masonry was handcrafted from river rock, recycled materials and an assemblage of the relics and artifacts of Glendora's early agricultural and industrial eras. Michael's innovative use of both natural and cultural materials makes Rubel Castle an exceptionally important masterwork within the context of folk art environments in California. It also serves as a rare resource and physical reminder of the citrus industry, which played a significant role in the development of the area in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. It is open for guided tours by appointment only. To visit the Castle please reserve a tour: rubeltours.org.

This event is hosted by the Glendora Historical Society Membership Committee.
