Chicago machinist Ted Bettendorf believes the old saying about a man's home being his castle. When he ran across a large bed of rock while excavating a basement for his wooden shack at Fox River Grove, Illinois, he decided to convert the shack to a real 20th Century Castle.

was born in Vianden, Luxembourg. (Acme).
