About the Pillsbury Castle

Built in 1903, the Alfred F. Pillsbury Castle is a 10,600 square foot English Tudor Gothic mansion crafted from local Platteville limestone. Highlights include: asymmetrical facade with projecting bays and a balustraded entrance to its grand interior spaces featuring Quartersawn Oak paneling, carved walnut arches, and ornate plaster ceilings. The Castle is owned by Matthew Trettel and Ryan Hanson who are generously opening up their home as an intimate venue for our Lakes Area Music Festival events. In 2024 it was transformed as the ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) Home. Nearly 10,000 attendees experienced the best of interior design and preservation craft as 30 ASID Designers came together to completely transform this historic property.
