Hearst Castle is a National and California Historical Landmark
mansion located on the Central Coast of California, United States. It
was designed by architect Julia Morgan between 1919 and 1947
[3]
for newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, who died in 1951. In
1957, the Hearst Corporation donated the property to the state of
California. Since that time it has been maintained as a state historic
park where the estate, and its considerable collection of art and
antiques, is open for public tours. Despite its location far from any
urban center, the site attracts about one million visitors per year.
