- The dogs got to explore another castle!
Château Laroche, also known as the Loveland Castle, is a museum on the banks of the Little Miami River north of Loveland, Ohio, United States. Built in the style of a Medieval castle, construction began in the 1927 by Boy Scout troop leader, World War I veteran, and medievalist Harry D. Andrew.
He built the castle on promotional plots of land that were obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Andrews named his castle after a military hospital in the Château de la Roche in southwest France, where he was stationed during the First World War. Its name means "Rock Castle" in French.
For over fifty years, Andrews worked on his castle project. He pulled stones from the nearby Little Miami River, and when that supply was exhausted, molded bricks with cement and quart milk cartons.
When Andrews died in 1981, he willed the castle to his Boy Scout troop the Knights of the Golden Trail (KOGT). The Castle has been extensively upgraded and renovated in the years since Andrews' death and has been mostly completed by the KOGT. The East tower now houses a short video presentation on Andrews' quest to finish his dream. The walls of the upstairs chapel feature many stones brought back by Andrews in his world travels and others sent to him from foreign locations by his friends and followers. Recently completed are an expansion to the outside gardens and a greenhouse.
Tales of the castle being haunted - often coming from Chateau Laroche's own volunteer knights - have been reported over the years.

Wow really cool
It is cool. We have some cool stuff in OH
Fifi and Beo enjoyed their tour of the Castle and gardens. 🏰💙
It's a beautiful castle!
Fifi and Beo so good in their carriage enjoying the tour. I bet it is full of interesting smells there. Another lovely day for you, the gardens and castle look beautiful. Never ending rain here in the UK My Chow chow Kiki hated the rain but has been shamed into liking it by the two younger Chows chows Chiki and Sushi who have no problem with getting wet. Thank you for sharing your love and devotion to your dogs with me, it warms my heart to see such love. God bless
When Beo was younger, he didn't like rain either. He deals with it now. Now he doesn't seem to care about the weather, he has his routes in the backyard and he walks them rain or not.
Fifi was more interested in getting attention from everyone😆 even though there was so much to see in the castle
So much to see. I had a lot of footage I had to trim down.
Many thanks to Fifi & Beo for the interesting tour of the castle ❤️✨🐾🐾😍🥰
I hope you enjoyed the video! We love showing off these cool places
Fifi is home at last. She is now officially the Queen of the Castle. All hoomans welcome to visit as long as they either pay by pillow or by pat.
She needs pillows, pats, and her favorite cookie treats. 🍪 Hooman (me) isn't giving them to her anymore, she stopped eating her other treats and only wanted cookies.
@@RescueDogFam Oh dear, extra angry and vocal Fifi because she's not getting her favourite treats. Bet she's taking it out on the pillows, just like another white fluffy butt does.
She can't ignore her healthy treats and only eat cookies. She needs her meat and protein treats too. She's been eating them again, so maybe if she keeps up she can get some cookies next week
