Explore this beautiful and unique castle, a true testimony of father’s love.
Boyce Luther Gulley built Gulley Mystery Castle in the 1930s for his daughter Mary Lou Gulley. When Boyce found he’s very ill, he began building a dream castle for his “princess.” Shortly after he died, his daughter and her mother moved in.
Mystery Castle is located in Phoenix’s South Mountain Park and has eighteen rooms, thirteen fireplaces, parapets, a tavern, a wedding chapel, a wine cellar and many charming nooks and crannies which are furnished with southwestern antiques.
Outside you’ll see mosaic-tiled multicolored patios and a homemade doghouse.
The castle is made from rocks, bricks, old car parts and everything that Mr. Gulley found nearby.
The Mystery Castle has been designated as a Phoenix Point of Pride.
