Kimball Castle is the former summer estate of railroad magnate Benjamin Ames Kimball. It is located on a hill overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee in the town of Gilford, New Hampshire, United States. Although portions of the Kimball's original 300-acre (120 ha) estate have been subdivided, much of it remains conservation land managed by the town. The 20.1-acre (8.1 ha) subdivided portion on which the 2+1⁄2-story medieval-style castle stands is privately owned and no longer part of the Charlotte Kimball trust.
