Castle Noel

Have you ever wondered what happens to the props and costumes used to make your favorite movies? Well, sometimes they end up with collectors. And when a collector is as talented as Mark Klaus, you end up with an amazing, 40,000 square foot experience full of Christmas magic and surprises around every corner. 

Combining years of artistic experience and an amazing knack for the theatric, the fittingly-named Mr. Klaus has taken an old church building and turned it into a beautiful Castle dedicated to all things Christmas. Mark's love of Christmas started at a young age, and, after establishing a successful career crafting porcelain figurines and ornaments, he decided to begin collecting keepsakes from some of his favorite movies. Over the years, Klaus has amassed the "the world’s largest privately owned collection of Hollywood Christmas movie props and costumes", and, in 2013, he decided to share his collection by opening Castle Noel.

In addition to items like Will Ferrell's costume from "Elf" and the sleigh from "How The Grinch Stole Christmas", Castle Noel is also home to a variety of Christmas storefront displays from iconic locations like Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as interactive attractions like a replica of the slide that Ralphie rides in "A Christmas Story".

If you love to celebrate Christmas year round, you won't want to miss this unique and festive place!
