Why is There a Gigantic Castle Sitting in Grandville, Michigan?

If you've never been to Grandville, Michigan, you probably had no idea this massive castle existed. If you live in Grandville, you're well aware that's for sure.

Mark Burnash:

I don't know what's going on here. I was in an automotive area dropping off vehicles. I pulled up to a stoplight while leaving, looked over, and BAM! Epic castle out of nowhere! There's a Muffler Man across the street.

Intrigued by Mark's wild discovery, we decided to do a little digging to try and figure out what this gigantic structure was.

A lot of people think that it's a hotel or some kind of resort after seeing it for the first time. However, they're wrong.
