An outstanding example of Gilded Age opulence, Lambert Castle was built in 1893 by wealthy silk manufacturer, art collector, and amateur architect Catholina Lambert. Now a prominent landmark along north Jersey's Interstate 80, the ornate decoration, scale and hilltop location of Lambert Castle stand in pointed contrast to what was the workers’ housing below in the city of Paterson.

Lambert Castle is listed in the NJ Register of Historic Places.

It is currently used as a history museum, county offices, and a library for local history and genealogy. Visit www.lambertcastle.com for more information.
