Glen Eyrie Castle

Glen Eyrie is a masterpiece. Just minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, Glen Eyrie is the original estate of the city’s founder, General William Jackson Palmer. Today the property is proudly owned by the Navigators –an international Christian Ministry – serving the local community and international guests with gracious hospitality and unparalleled grandeur. The centerpiece of this 800-acre oasis, with its towering rock formations, lush lawns, gardens and wildlife, is of course the castle itself. Finished in 1904, its grand entryway welcomes all guests seeking a retreat from the busyness of life. Overnight guests step into a time when life was more restful, and a location that reflects the glory of its Creator.

Guests may choose to stay in one of 17 castle rooms, each featuring period-style decor. Multiple lodges throughout the property are a perfect getaway for families and those seeking the serenity of the property coupled with a simpler feel.

Delight in an afternoon tea in the castle music room or library. Enjoy a guided castle tour and experience the brilliance of General Palmer and his early innovations.
