Tovrea Castle Unveils Recreated Carraro Cottage and Caretakers’ House at Ribbon-Cutting

The replicas cap a years-long recovery effort following a 2015 microburst that destroyed the originals.

Overview

  • The Tovrea Carraro Society marked the completion with a Sept. 18 ribbon-cutting in Phoenix.
  • The two outbuildings were among the site’s oldest structures and have been fully rebuilt to their early 20th-century look.
  • They predate the castle and represent the Warners’ homestead and the Carraro family’s quarters, tracing the story back to 1907.
  • Visitors on guided tours will view the recreated buildings from the exterior only, with no interior access.
  • Spring 2026 tour tickets will be allocated by lottery Oct. 1–15, with winners notified 2–3 weeks later and 72 hours to purchase.
