Musa Castle and Museum
Description:
The Musa Castle and Museum is a modern beautiful castle of the middle of the twentieth century, which was built in the form of a medieval structure. It was built by the Lebanese visionary Moussa Abdel Karim al-Maamari. This castle became the embodiment of his dreams and the work of his life. In
The Musa Castle and Museum are located in the north of the city of Bayt al-Din, 40 kilometers from Beirut, in western Lebanon. They are located in the heart of the Shuf Mountains, at an altitude of 900 meters. Their construction was conceived by Moussa al-Maamari as a child, but he was able to implement his plan only in 1962, when he bought land for his future castle and created a paper miniature copy.
It also houses a unique museum of weapons and wax figures, which depicts scenes from the daily lives of people from the mountainous regions of Lebanon. In the castle you can see the book of Moussa al-Maamari – “Dream of my life”, which can be purchased in print or on CD-ROM.
