A New Chapter for a Historic Estate

“The path of self-knowledge is the most glorious journey a human being can undertake.”
— Śrīla Prabhupāda

Formerly known as Overnewton Castle, this distinguished heritage estate is entering a new chapter as Srila Prabhupada Castle; a place inspired by timeless values of community, culture, reflection, hospitality, and meaningful human connection.

With deep respect for the castle’s history and architectural legacy, the vision is to preserve its beauty while creating a welcoming destination for celebrations, cultural experiences, retreats, weddings, learning experiences, and community gatherings.

Inspired by the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, which emphasise wisdom, compassion, hospitality, mindful living, and community, the castle aims to bring together heritage, celebration, learning, and culture in a way that is welcoming and uplifting for all visitors.

At its heart, the vision is simple:

To create a place where people can gather, celebrate meaningful moments, and experience connection, inspiration, and timeless beauty within a truly unique heritage setting.
