7. New Lighting Will Illuminate the Castle at Night

While the views looking out from the windows and viewing platforms of Belvedere Castle are stunning, the views looking up at it are just as important. Over the fifteen month renovation, the castle was obscured by netting and scaffolding as crews worked on bringing the castle back to its former glory.

On a summer night, Belvedere is already a beautiful silhouette against the evening sky. To enhance the view of Belvedere looking up from Turtle Pond, construction crews have set up lights all around the castle so that it will be illuminated at night. On your next evening stroll through the Park, stop by Turtle Pond to see the already breathtaking view of the Castle from the water brightly enhanced. The lights will sparkle on the water of the pond and will draw all eyes to this architectural achievement.
