Rocky Hill Castle, also known simply as Rocky Hill, was a historic plantation and plantation house between Town Creek and Courtland,Alabama, United States. Once famed in Alabama for its architecture, it was an unusual mixing of neoclassical and picturesque aesthetics in one plantation complex.[1] The house and tower suffered from neglect during much of the 20th century and were subsequently demolished in the 1960s.[2] Much folklore surrounds the site, with Rocky Hill Castle being the subject of numerous ghost stories.[3][4] The most notable story, "The Ghost of the Angry Architect", was published in Kathryn Tucker Windham and Margaret Gillis Figh's 1969 work13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey.[5]
