Bishop Castle: Rye, Colorado

Travel 4 Minutes

Ever since 1969, Jim Bishop has singlehandedly constructed Bishop’s Castle, which is the largest self-built palace in the United States — and may be the largest self-built architecture project in the entire world.

There were no blueprints or diagrams for the eccentric Bishop Castle in Rye, Colorado. Built by Jim Bishop over the course of 60 years, the monumental structure is the result of his own imagination and lackadaisical building style. As he told one interviewer, “I just build. I don’t measure.”

Made of high, teetering bridges and stairs, Bishop’s Castle is constructed on top of what once was his one-room cottage using over 1,000 tons of rock from the nearby San Isabel National Forest.

It is also littered with signs that warn visitors not to excessively shake them or they could collapse, as Bishop didn’t believe in building codes.

Nevertheless, people flock from all around to see Bishop’s Castle — and to marvel at its craftsmanship. Indeed, even though some may be wary of its stability, the beauty of the castle stands on its own merit.

Why Jim Bishop Built Bishop Castle

It was 1959 and Jim Bishop was 15 years old when he fell in love with two-and-a-half acres for sale in the mountains outside Pueblo, Colorado. He had enough money saved for the $450 down payment — of the total $1,250 price — from mowing lawns and delivering newspapers. His parents had to sign the paperwork since he wasn’t legally able to buy the land himself.

His dream was to build a family cabin. For the next handful of summers, Bishop and his dad went camping at the site and made building plans. Those plans remained dreams until Bishop married his girlfriend, Phoebe, and decided to begin building them a place to live.

Taking rocks from the surrounding parkland, Bishop set out to construct a simple, one-room cottage. Building season in the mountains is quite short, however, between snowmelt and snowfall. Bishop and his father alternated weeks; one working on the home while the other ran the family’s ironwork business.

There wasn’t any running water at the cottage, so Bishop had to build a 40-foot-tall cistern for the water supply. When he began constructing it from stone as well, it resembled a castle tower. Neighbors noticed and jokingly asked if Bishop was erecting a castle.

The comments sparked his imagination: Why not build a castle?

Bishop’s father thought this sounded like more work than he was willing to do, and with the main cabin finished, gracefully bowed out and let his son go on building to his heart’s content.

Constructing The Eccentric Palace

Working in his family’s iron shop meant Bishop learned how things came together. He chopped down trees and milled them into lumber. He dug 12-foot foundations and created scaffolding and pulley systems as he went.

According to Bishop, he’d dream up some feature he wanted, build it, and when it was finished it’d spark an idea for the next part of the castle.

The ironwork arches on the second floor of Bishop Castle are perhaps one of the palace’s best examples of precision geometry. The support trusses are so large that it’s hard to fathom them being put into place by one man. But they were. All of the castle was built by Bishop alone.

He would say Bishop Castle was “Built by one man with the help of God.”

The facade of the building features a fire-breathing dragon made from recycled warming plates and a donated hot-air balloon warmer. The fireplace cleverly ventilates through the dragon’s nostrils. Stained glass windows decorate the palace’s grand hall.

Bishop Castle kept growing, and more visitors showed up to see it, but Bishop never considered charging them admission to enter. Bishop Castle can still be accessed free of charge.

In fact, Bishop drew up legal documents stating that as long as Bishop Castle stands, no one can ever charge admission. However, he did eventually set up a donation box.

Visiting Bishop Castle

Because of its unwieldiness, the Colorado Chamber of Commerce refused to list the castle as an attraction in their pamphlets. There was already some bad blood between Bishop and the state of Colorado, however, as he technically built his palace with rocks that belonged to a national park.

Additionally, no insurance company wanted to be responsible for the ongoing construction at the code-less “attraction.” After he’s gone, Jim Bishop said that he hopes his kids and grandkids will carry on the traditions of the castle.

Today, the castle is 160 feet tall, and construction has slowed considerably as Bishop has gotten older — but will probably not stop anytime soon. His eldest son, Daniel, handles the upkeep and interacts with the visitors. He put his own business on hold to help his parents as they moved into old age. Sadly, his mother, Phoebe, died in 2018.

The castle is no stranger to sad tales. Bishop and Phoebe lost another son, four-year-old Roy, in a tree-felling accident years earlier. There have been fires that claimed parts of the castle, including a gift shop, but they were always rebuilt.

Bishop still occasionally gets out to talk with tourists. He may be prone to anti-government rants, as is outlined by some of the signs on the property, but he is truly still humbled that people stop by to see his life’s work.  He added memorials to Phoebe and Roy inside and maintains he built the castles for others, not himself.

“Them walls, them buttresses, arches, towers. If there wasn’t somebody to climb on them, be inspired by them, get married up there, and use them, and have fun screamin’, hollerin’ and climbin’, there’d be no point in doing it,” he said. “It would be like the noise in the forest. Did it really happen? Was there a noise? Oh yes, there was, but how can you prove it? Well, the castle’s its own proof.”

    1. Morning, Pat! Rained hard here last night, too, but thankfully the wind wasn’t bad and all the feeders are still normal. I’m sure there is water in the jelly feeder but that’s ok – the birds won’t care. Temp is 43 here now, still cloudy and will be for some days yet. It is clear Wheezer hasn’t been here overnight since there is no food gone from his dish. No doubt he has other hidey holes around.

      I visited Bishop’s Castle back in 1976, before I left CO to return to NE in preparation for going into the Army in November. You may recall that I did an open about it at M’s. They only had the first couple of levels done at that time and were planning to host wedding parties. They lived in the small stone cottage they built nearby and hosted hummingbirds that flew into/out of the open doors. First time I ever saw a hummingbird – thought it was a bumble bee buzzing around my head at first.

      1. the burn pit is built with spaced cinderblocks–to allow necessary air in and out. the bear merely yanks a cinderblock off the top and if he can’t climb in (a small bear cub could get in there) then he just keeps tearing away at the blocks till he gets to the core where there might be something. normally all that’s in there is paper or cardboard. but like yesterday I made pudding and angelfood cake–so there’d be cardboard and the inner wrappers which might contain the hint of one of the mixes. bears have incredible sense of smell. and they love sweet things. if the bottom of a raisin bran cereal box had a raisin or two–they’d want that too.

  7. WOW – Bishop’s castle is quite a structure! If Bishop and his Dad had not had an iron works company, it would not have been possible. (I do hope there are iron reinforcements inside all that stone and cement mortar.) 

    Phoebe must have been quite a woman to inspire such love that causes a man to continue such a long hard project. 

    I love the flower stained glass windows. They depict both the pleasant times and thorny times of life.

    2. They used to take turns staying at the Castle and working on it and running their ironworks location, which I think was in Buena Vista. Jim/Phoebe would go stay in the cabin and work on the castle, while the parents ran the ironworks shop. They they would switch.

    The city of Baltimore is going to sell all of the abandoned properties for $1 each to help lower income residents with homeownership. Unfortunately, there’s a catch; you must have $90,000 in your bank account to put towards the house renovations. No low income people in Baltimore will have that kind of money, but you know who will? All of the corporations who are about to own the city of Baltimore. Democrats have once again found a way to screw the poor and help the rich. America is broken!

  15. NF: This is the reasoning behind the push to progress to 5G!

    “Nanobots That Release Toxins And Harvest Energy From the Body—Humans being turned into batteries to fuel digital A.I. prison.”

    GREG REESE, APR 18, 2024

    (VIDEO) / Transcript link

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “The 248 page patent for the Moderna technology that was administered to people in the COVID shots was filed in 2020. The patent lists several embodiments, or variations, of this technology. And while we don’t know who got what embodiment, we know that several different batch numbers were deployed. And some were far more deadly than others.

    According to the Moderna patent, this technology contains self-assembled nanoparticles. And in certain variations these nanoparticles can be used for the controlled release of compounds once they are in the human body. These lipid nanoparticles are encapsulated into a polymer hydrogel, a controlled release coating that includes polyvinyls. This has been verified by Ana Mihalcea and Clifford Carnicom’s research.

    In a 2013 TEDMED talk, Dr. Ido Bachelet says that these nano robots have already been successfully developed in Israel. And that they can be injected into the body with a basic syringe. He shows an image of what they look like, and they appear to be the same structures that the Fifth Column found in their research and claimed was powered by 5G, which was confirmed by Dr. Bachelet.

    “My team developed nano-robots that carry antenna. These antenna are made from metal nanoparticles. Now the antenna enable the nanobots to respond to externally applied electromagnetic fields. So these version of nanobots can actually be activated with a press of a button on a joystick.” ~ Dr. Ido Bachelet

    In the following video it is being discussed by developers in 2015.

    The nano-robot we designed and fabricated is a machine that can be programmed to autonomously recognize target cells and deliver payloads to those cells. ~ Dr. Ido Bachelet So the basic idea is to make a cage or a basket that protects a fragile, or toxic, or precious payload, and only releases it when it’s at the right moment. ~ George Church The nano-robot that we designed actually looks like an open ended barrel or a clam-shell that has two halves. So the two halves of this open ended barrel or clam-shell are linked together by flexible DNA hinges, and the entire structure is held shut by latches or locks that are actually DNA double helixes. The way it works is that, in the absence of the key, which is a molecule or protein, the duplexes are held sufficiently strong to maintain the entire structure closed. But when the key is present, that piece of DNA that we designed to recognize that key, switches to bind to that key and the duplex zips open. ~ Dr. Ido Bachelet

    The work of Todd Callender’s team at vaxxchoice.com have concluded that these shots contain a variety of synthetic pathogens that can be released with external 5G frequencies. The Moderna patent describes these nanoparticle mimics, which mimic the delivery of a variety of pathogens and lists over a hundred of them within the patent.

    And according to the work at vaxxchoice, these synthetic pathogens each have an IP address, they are cataloged by the Department of Energy, and they use Caesium-137, which we have been contaminated with from the environment, as a building block for their construction within our bodies using external frequency. And their research shows that the Microsoft patent filed in 2020, 060606 cryptocurrency system using body activity data, is now in effect and that this technology is turning the human body into an antenna which can output energy. Meaning that humans are being turned into batteries to fuel the digital A.I. prison that is being built around us. And if you choose not to comply, the technology includes a kill switch.

    Thanks to many independent researchers and scientists, we are figuring out their agenda. But they continue to walk freely among us, unrestrained by any justice whatsoever.”

  16. I was visiting Bishop Castle the same week-end that this flood occurred about 200 miles away in the Wet Mountains; we slept in a pup tent the night before and it rained all night – we were soaked! I left CO the following week, returning to NE to wait for my deployment in November.

    EXCERPT: “In 1976, Colorado saw the most powerful flood that the state had seen in 1,000s of years. The flooding occurred when a massive amount of rain fell in the Loveland area, most of which came down during a window of one to two hours. In total, it’s estimated that 12 inches of rain fell over the course of a roughly four-hour storm. That’s approximately 75 percent of the rain that typically falls in this area throughout the course of an entire year.

    As you might guess, this sudden rainfall resulted in catastrophe, destroying Big Thompson Canyon.

    According to reporting from Jason Pohl of The Coloradan , events started to unfold at around 5 PM on July 31st, 1976, with storm clouds starting to produce light precipitation in higher-elevation areas of Big Thompson Canyon. As the rain continued over the next couple hours, it got heavier and heavier…..”

  17. Just The News: “Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday introduced an amendment to proposed Ukraine aid legislation that would require lawmakers who support the wider bill to personally enlist to fight for Kyiv.

    “Any Member of Congress who votes in favor of this Act shall be required to conscript in the Ukrainian military,” the amendment reads, according to Axios’s Juliegrace Brufke. Under the plan, eligible lawmakers would apparently have their choice of service branch.

    The measure is not expected to make it into the final bill and appears to be merely a protest against the foreign aid initiative.

    Greene has been a vocal opponent of Ukraine aid and a critic of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who on Wednesday put forward the text of three separate bills to address aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. He further plans to bring border legislation and a sanctions package to the floor, though the text of those measures remain unreleased.

    She has particularly fumed over Johnson’s handling of critical legislative fights and filed a motion to vacate him from the speaker’s post last month. Earlier this week, Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie signed on to the effort, due in part, to his own frustrations over the foreign aid plan.”

    On The Mayorkas Impeachment

    Karl Denninger

    The Senate appears to have a rather odd view of the Executive — then again so does the House, and both are not only toxic they’re demonstrably false.

    “Mayorkas is the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in almost 150 years. House Republicans voted to impeach Mayorkas in February over his handling of the southern border by a narrow margin after failing to do so on their first try.

    Democrats have slammed the impeachment as a political stunt, saying that Republicans had no valid basis for the move and that policy disagreements are not a justification for the rarely used constitutional impeachment of a Cabinet official.”

    The impeachment of Mayorkas has nothing to do with “policy disagreements”; it is first, last and only about a Cabinet official’s deliberate refusal to enforce laws as written, including 8 USC §1324.

    That statute mandates felony criminal penalties carrying prison sentences for anyone who assists, harbors or transports illegal immigrants. Other sections of US law forbid the Federal Government and its agencies from “paroling” into the United States an illegal immigrant unless that have a facially-reasonable claim to asylum.  There is no capacity in the law to permit DHS to do so simply because there are a lot of people illegally crossing.

    /1🚨BREAKING — While President Trump is being prosecuted for possessing Presidential records, our investigation revealed that Biden’s CDC illegally deletes employees’ emails after they leave the agency.

    We just sued HHS and NARA for violating the Federal Records Act…

    THREAD:

    /2 On March 29, 2023, AFL sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General, requesting an investigation of the CDC’s unlawful policy of deleting employee emails.

    /3 AFL requested records regarding the CDC’s support for teacher-led indoctrination of children with radical gender ideology.

    /4 Federal law requires that each agency “make and preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency and designed to furnish the information necessary to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and of persons directly affected by the agency’s activities.”

    /5 Yet, in a routine email regarding the disclosure of these records, the CDC told AFL that the CDC routinely deletes the emails of nearly all of its employees thirty days after they leave the agency:

    /6 NARA investigated the allegations but determined that because the “CDC instructs individual email account holders to apply retention based on the email’s content value and its applicability to a NARA-approved records schedule,” NARA considered the matter closed.

    /7 In short, NARA appears to entrust individual CDC employees to decide which emails can be automatically deleted.

    /8🚨This is patently inconsistent with the law.

    /9 Moreover, if the federal government wants to unlawfully assert that anytime a government employee leaves an agency their records are no longer considered records of the United States, then the same assumption would apply to former Presidents of the United States.

    /10 According to this logic, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of President Trump over Presidential records would be voided null as the records in question would effectively no longer be considered records of the United States upon the end of the Trump presidency.

    /11 It cannot be that a career bureaucrat at the CDC, or any government agency, has more say than a former President — and yet, under the Biden Administration, this appears to be the case.

    /12 Notably, in one case involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation  (FBI), former FBI agent Scott Payne intentionally removed official records from the FBI’s custody. According to press reports cited by NARA, “Sitting in the crates [Mr. Payne] brought home when he retired are the field notes and transcripts of every case he’s worked.”

    /13 NARA did not refer Mr. Payne to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for investigation. Instead, it permitted the FBI to “retriev[e] 99 discs from the former employee’s residence, documented that the former employee affirmed that he does not possess any hard copy documents and that the discs are the ‘totality of government records and information in his possession.’”

    /14 A former FBI agent who intentionally removed sensitive law enforcement records from a federal agency and held those records for several years is not referred for investigation nor prosecuted…

    /15 Yet, President Trump — who transferred records he believed to be personal records or non-records to his home — was referred to the DOJ for investigation by NARA without authority

    /16 And, of course — aside from the illegality of systematically deleting these records— what is the CDC trying to hide?

    Why does it have a records deletion process that entrusts individual bureaucrats to decide what are official records and what are

    /17 America First Legal will continue to relentlessly fight the government’s partisan two-tiered system of justice.

  27. “Homesteading: A Journey of Self-Sufficiency — It doesn’t take 40 acres, mule and a plow to start”

    ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS, APR 18, 2024

    Apple Trees on our farm, April 2024

    EXCERPT: “Homesteading (or “Farmsteading”) is a journey of self-sufficiency, and a path that may or may not lead to a life off-the-grid. It’s about building or rebuilding a home and/or farm, and learning to live off the land. It may be about teaching those skills to others, such as family and friends. Homesteading often involves barter of food, seeds, resources and time. Whether you’re practicing on a small scale- like cultivating a hydroponic garden in your apartment or keeping three hens in the backyard- or on a larger scale, the sense of accomplishment and empowerment is immense. So, embrace this fulfilling and empowering work – you have the power to do it!

    During WWII, victory gardens provided Americans and soldiers with much of their food. This movement was led by the government, but was immediately abandoned post-war as soldiers returned to the farm, and as the economy needed a reboot. Modern co-op gardens gained popularity in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, led by a back-to-the-earth movement. Self-sufficiency movements in the 1990s and 2000s began to apply the concept to urban and suburban settings. Fast forward to the present and now the off-the-grid movement and regenerative farming techniques are sweeping the nation. Whatever the name, homesteading offers both a respite from “modern” life as well as healthier alternatives for living. One doesn’t need 40 acres, mule and a plow to practice homesteading. An old bucket and some seeds may be all that one needs to start.

    Spinach and garlic that we planted in an old horse watering tank. The spinach is being harvested this month and the garlic is growing well for a July harvest. Jill has made an amazing quiche with eggs from our hens and spinach from the garden this week.

    As our nation grapples with its flaws, as we seek meaning in our existence, and as our food systems become increasingly industrialized and synthetic, the need for healthier sources of food becomes self-evident. The truth is that the American diet is largely composed of ultra-processed foods, which by and large are detrimental to health.  By homesteading. By becoming a part of your own food system which nourishes your body daily, you’re creating a positive feedback loop. This will lead to a healthier life and a healthier body.  The daily rituals of homesteading will not only nourish your body but also soothe your soul. Furthermore, the daily routines of homesteading are a source of low-impact exercise, which is extremely healthy.  Particularly as we age….”

    “Biden White House Signs on to New Gates-Funded Pandemic Surveillance Plan — The Biden White House on Tuesday announced a new 50-country partnership to “combat future pandemics” and a new Pandemic Fund, financed so far by 27 contributors, including some associated with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, journalist Kim Iversen reported.

    By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.

    EXCERPT: “The Biden White House on Tuesday announced a new 50-country partnership to “combat future pandemics” by identifying and responding to infectious disease outbreaks, journalist Kim Iversen reported on a recent episode of “The Kim Iversen Show.”

    The administration released a 64-page document detailing the program, which it said aims to strengthen “global health security” and “prevent, detect and effectively respond to biological threats wherever they emerge.”

    “We know exactly what that means,” Iversen said. “They’re going to be hunting down Disease X, which is what the [World Economic Forum] called it during their Davos meeting, where they’re like, ‘We’ve got to be prepared for Disease X, because Disease X is going to get us all.’”

    The Biden administration said it already supports 50 countries and has committed to support 50 more, primarily in Africa and Asia, to develop better testing, surveillance, communication and preparedness to “prevent pandemics” like the COVID-19 outbreak.

    “You thought the pandemic health treaty, which gives away our sovereignty, was scary?” she asked, referring to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) proposed pandemic agreement, which is up for a vote by member states next month. “Well, this is almost as bad.”

    Several U.S. government agencies — including U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — will implement the program….”
