Rubel Castle: Exploring Glendora’s Private Castle with Oddity Odysseys

- Rubel Castle is a unique and historic building in Glendora that was built by Michael Rubel inside of a water reservoir. The castle was built over 20 years and eventually completed in 1986. The structure is a legit castle, with a drawbridge, 4 story exterior wall and even a dragon that guards the entrance. I got a chance to take a tour a few weeks ago with my friends from Oddity Odysseys and really enjoyed learning about this historic structure from Scott Rubel, who worked with Michael to create it. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Such a great narration of Rubel Castle and excellant SoCal installment, Josh! Already looking forward to the next adventure.
Thanks for inviting me!
House on the Rock in western Wisconsin is worth a visit, not exactly the same thing, but a huge collection of eclectic things and unique house.
Thanks for bringing back some great memories! Back in the late 70's, when I was in high school, my photography teacher lived in one of the (very rustic and funky) apartments there. I remember helping him move in and getting a tour from Michael Rubel. I haven't been there since the 70's, so it was wonderful to have positive memories of my teenage years brought back so vividly!
Added to my list of MUST SEE's!!
Super awesome 😎 video
My Father(Paul Foti) and Michael both drove bus for The Glendora School District, back in the 60’s and 70’s. They were good friends. Over the years, I helped Mike with construction projects on the property, here and there, and the farm became a regular hang for myself and many of my friends. Mike was a great guy, very much a ‘one of a kind’, unique individual. He is sorely missed…
Your videos the best👍 Places we'd love to go to but will never happen. Mahalo (Thank U) big time. Aloha
Great video and it was fun to see Drew and Bethany from Oddity Odysseys. They're channel is awesome.
However, in watching both video Josh on your camera equipment, drone and overall videography style is next level art.
Really appreciate the kind words on my video! I agree, Oddity Odysseys is a great channel as well!
Wow, learned about a new place. I think I’ll take my kids there when they are a little older, since it looks like so maybe little things to explore
I made the jump from Oddity Odysseys' video to watch this great video. New subscriber now.👍👍
This is a couple miles away from where I live…I drove past it one day and was like WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!! So cool that I found this video - definitely worth going on a tour!
That's awesome to see! Good video. All the best from Utah.
Cool. I’ve been to Glendora many time cuz one of my fav places for afternoon tea is in Glendora. But never heard of it. Will have to check it out and maybe place tea with friends and a tour
Sounds like a great way to spend the day!
That’s so cool! I’d never heard of it before!
It was a fun place to explore!
Pretty cool. Didn't even know this place existed
Great video. Glad you bumped into Bethany and Drew. They're top notch.
Agree, they make some great videos!
Nice video, I think it was cool that you had Oddity Odysseys on your channel, I always like when bigger channels help out smaller channels. Have a great day
Thanks for the comment! I love their channel so I hoped others would enjoy watching it as well
Just found out about this place this year, and I'm only 20 minutes away. It's such an inspiring dreamy story, really makes you wish you had met Michael. The tour was great, I loved it! Definitely a must see for dreamers, thank you for sharing with your viewers. Great little hidden gem in the San Gabriel Valley.
I am a native So. California and remember hearing about this when I lived in the area. Not having visited Rubel Castle when I was in the state, it's wonderful to see your tour visit here on YT. I would say that Michael was a bit eccentric and yet ahead of his time for using recycled materials in building of the imaginative castle.
Awesome 😎
Fascinating, first time hearing of it. I assume being in Glendora, you made a stop at Donut Man
Of course! Can't pass it by during peach season haha
What a trip that’s just above the junior high school I used to go to Goddard junior high My parents moved to that city in 1972 and we lived there for 35 years I don’t believe that place is ever open for the public for viewing at least I’ve never been inside Too bad I didn’t know you would be in the area would like to meet you in person
Wow! LA has some really oddball places. Love seeing them.
Wow my husband grew up a few blocks away from the castle 🏰 his best friend was friends with that family and spent time there helping out 😊Glendora is such a nice community.
Loves it
Never knew this existed! Thank you for documenting it!
"That's amazin'!"
Great video
Love quirky SoCal history! This is an awesome place. There is a similar home on University Ave in Riverside, but it's not as extensive. Thanks for the great tour!
Great place to go visit! I have a U.P.S. box at the same store I do lol (171).
Coool 💥👌
You are awesome 😎
Great vid. Title says Glendale though😬
Thanks for the catch!
Ive been there cool place. What im wondering at 6:33 howd those chairs get up there?
That's a private deck at 6:33 with light plastic chairs on it. We just rope things up from the bottom. You get to this deck through the spiral stairs that are inside the round tower to the left of that.
@@RubelCastleCalifornia Got it thnx for the reply and great place to visit.
Cool.
You will need to do The Hearst Castle.
I have a few videos on Hearst Castle on the channel, it is awesome as well!
@@californiathroughmylens I will need to look for them.
I remember I had to climb all of these step’s and it had a gorgeous pool.

Live castle's definitely a north American oddessy
Another video of the castle? You mention Oddity Odysseys through out the video than you mentioned Huell Howser at the end? Rubel Castle should go back to it's original statement - No video taking, only pictures. All this exploring stuff is becoming redundant, nothing new.
