A good friend was married in the library back in 1999 when most of Oheka was a dusty construction site. I took my mother and brother for dinner there Christmas 2019. It was great to see how much improved it was.
Lived in Westhampton for 15 years. Heard lots about Oheka. But there was never an open house, flower show, musical event, or designer showcase invitation that arrived in my mailbox! I would have loved to have toured it. Third son being married who is looking for a venue near the city, but I can’t make the recommendation. Glad it’s still standing though!
Cheka Castle is a monument to the Past, Present and Future of what this country is made of, the embodiment of ideal and execution as only America offers to anyone who lands on it's shores, or boarders, to build a new life for themselves and their progeny . it is most fitting that while staying at the magnificent property, dress codes of Country Club smart is enforced. The food is wonderful and throughout the year, High Tea, Garden Parties, Cigar events, and community embracing programs welcome locals and visitors alike. truly an inspiration of possibilities, visions and "What if" whispers like the wind through the flora...OHEKA!
My godfather was on the committee that oversaw the restoration, before they turned it into a hotel. I was able to have a tour of it while it was still being restored. It was very cool.
At the time Otto Kahn was excluded from established society because of his ancestry which accounted for his desire to build bigger and better. He also made up for this exclusion by inviting Hollywood stars and celebrities to parties in his castle.
COMMENT: Are you a native of the Empire State, New York, and have you visited Oheka castle?
We went there for my 65th birthday two years ago, great place, met Gary the owner and he bought us a round of drinks at the bar

Thank God it wasn`t vandalized and destroyed like Whitemarsh Hall, Harbor Hill and so many other immense residences. This one survived.
Well, it wasn't for lack of trying on the vandals' part. They appear to have wasted a lot of gasoline in their persistent efforts.

Sure needs it’s roof worked on. Beautiful property.
