Grey Towers Castle is a building on the campus of Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania which is in Cheltenham Township, a suburb of Philadelphia, United States. The castle was designed by Horace Trumbauer and built starting in 1893 as the estate of William Welsh Harrison. The university (then known as Beaver College and located in nearby Jenkintown) purchased the estate in 1929 for $712,500, equal to $11,243,968 today. Classes were split between the two locations until 1962, when the school moved all of its operations to the Glenside area. The castle was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985 for its architecture.

  • Grey Towers Castle in Glenside, Pennsylvania ist der ehemalige Wohnsitz von William Welsh Harrison, einem wohlhabenden US-amerikanischen Zuckerproduzenten und Mitbesitzer der Franklin Sugar Refining Company. Der herrschaftliche Prachtbau wurde in Anlehnung an das Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, England vom Architektenbüro von Horace Trumbauer 1893–1897 errichtet; Chefdesigner war zu dieser Zeit Frank Seeburger (bis 1909). Grey Towers Castle besitzt 40 Räume auf drei Etagen, wobei sich die große Haupthalle über alle Etagen bis zum Dach erstreckt. Die im Stil der französischen Renaissance gehaltene Innenarchitektur wurde von Trumbauer in Zusammenarbeit mit William Baumgarten & Company aus New York ausgeführt. (de)

El castillo fue designado Hito Histórico Nacional en 1985.​ (es)
