Van Slyke Castle
Van Slyke Castle, originally known as Foxcroft, is a ruined early 20th century mansion in Wanaque, New Jersey that was built to resemble a castle.[1][2]
The home was built by stockbroker William Porter in the 1900s. He named the property Foxcroft, as it was built on Fox Hill.[1]
The property was abandoned by the 1950s. It was subsequently burned by vandals.[1]
The castle is located in Ramapo Mountain State Forest, where it is accessible to hikers.[3][4]
