Trident Castle was originally built for Baroness Elizabeth Siglindy Stephan von Thyssen also know as Zigi Fami.
Architect Earl Levy designed the entire castle himself, and construction began in 1979.
In his designs, Levy took inspiration from the British colonial-era style of the early 1700s.
Levy envisioned a mammoth, extravagant seaside palace rising off of Pegg Point
Stone alligators guard the castle's entrance;
a coat of arms featuring Neptune, the Roman god of the sea,
is emblazoned on the castle's oversized doors.
Construction on the extraordinary large building took nearly a decade to reach completion.
During the construction of the castle in the 1980s,
an argument between Levy and the baroness led to Levy taking over the estate
and making it his primary residence.
Levy maintained ownership of the castle throughout the 1990s
and after residing in the place for awhile,
Levy began renting out the castle as part of his overall Trident Hotel & Villas business model.
Famous guests at Trident Castle during the 1990s included
Johnny Depp and then-girlfriend Kate Moss,
as well as,
Tom Cruise and Robin Williams.
In 2009, Levy sold the castle to billionaire Michael Lee Chin for a reported US$2.1 million,
after going to court against various creditors and partners over assets.
Experts had said the castle could have been worth as much as US$8 million.
The castle now serves as a pricey vacation villa.
