Atalaya Castle

Murrells Inlet, SC

Industrialist Archer Huntington and sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington built this sprawling Moorish-inspired winter residence in the 1930s. Its stark brick corridors, enclosed courtyards, ironwork, studios, and strange floor plan feel more like an abandoned Mediterranean fortress than a South Carolina beach house.

Filed under roadside oddities: giant objects, odd monuments and things built for no clear reason.
