Nobody has talked about the history of Judge Lynch and why this is notable in addition to being a beautiful old building/ castle remnant. Look it up. It relates to the origin of the word "lynch" or "lynching". A sad & shocking story.

It’s just an old building - but it’s nice. Better to do on weekdays when the bank is open so you can see the ceiling.
