Rubel Castle is a unique and historic building in Glendora that was built by Michael Rubel inside of a water reservoir. The castle was built over 20 years and eventually completed in 1986. The structure is a legit castle, with a drawbridge, 4 story exterior wall and even a dragon that guards the entrance. I got a chance to take a tour a few weeks ago with my friends from Oddity Odysseys and really enjoyed learning about this historic structure from Scott Rubel, who worked with Michael to create it. Let me know what you think in the comments!
