Police raids, bones buried in the garden, and parties that raised the roof - the castle has an incredibly rich history! Unique building that is walk-able from the house, but it is a steep hill so be prepared for exercise. The castle is open one day a month for tours. Check the schedule for tours.

Sanchez Adobe is a living history site that was occupied from prehistoric Indian times until it became a historic landmark in 1953. It was an Indian village, a mission farm, a cattle ranch, the home of Francisco Sanchez (alcalde (Mayor) of San Francisco), a residence of General Kirkpatrick, the Hotel San Pedro, a speakeasy known as Adobe House and an artichoke storage facility. For many years it was the only provider of food for Mission Dolores in San Francisco. The old adobe home on the site, a fine example of authentic Monterey architecture, is the oldest building in San Mateo County.
