Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, andspeculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.^[1] Steampunk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used—usually Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States—that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells andJules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeldand China Mieville.

Other examples of steampunk contain alternative history-style presentations of such technology as lighter-than-air airships, analog computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace'sAnalytical engine.

Belcourt Castle...The Perfect Place to Wear A Hoop Skirted Gown!

Belcourt Castle was built for entertaining. The wealthiest Americans, European royalty, movie stars and celebrities past and present have been entertained within the castle. The magnificent treasures and the soft candlelight of evening combine to create beautiful memories.
Enter the gilded gates and stroll down the allée of arborvitae through the beautiful half-timbered courtyard. Sense the tranquility of the old world atmosphere in the Louis XIII-style castle of the Belmonts, Vanderbilts and the Tinney Family.

Belcourt Castle is a wonderful venue for your ceremony and/or reception. The House Rental Fee includes the use of elegant rooms for the ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and dancing on the day of your wedding. There is no extra charge for a 1-hour rehearsal the day before with the time schedule at the discretion of the castle.
