Pop Castle is a historic plantation house located near White Stone, Lancaster County, Virginia. It was built in 1855, and is a two-story, five-bay, gable roofed frame dwelling with Greek Revival style details. It has a single pile, central passage plan and two exterior end chimneys. It rests partly on the foundations of an 18th-century dwelling. Also on the property are the contributing antebellum granary and a roughly contemporary smokehouse. The property also includes the archaeological remains of most related service structures.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
