La Cuesta Encantada - Hearst Castle



Evening Tours & Living History Program are available at the "The Enchanted Hill" located high above the ocean at San Simeon.

This was the magnificent creation of two extraordinary individuals, William Randolph Hearst and architect Julia Morgan. The main house itself, "La Casa Grande," is a grand setting for Hearst's collection of European antiques and art pieces.

In its day, the castle was also a most fitting site for hosting the many influential guests who stayed at Hearst's San Simeon ranch. Guests included President Calvin Coolidge, Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Lindbergh, Charlie Chaplin, and a diverse array of luminaries from show business and publishing industries.
