Mike Newman is the creative force behind both the bakery and castle bearing his name. Since exploring Europe in his early 20’s, he had the dream to build his own castle, and has made that a reality in the Bellville countryside. Exhibiting the same hard work and determination that built his successful bakery of nearly three decades, Mike broke ground on his mighty fortress in 1998.

“In the beginning…people thought I was crazy,” Mike revealed in a recent interview with Texas Live Magazine. Ten years later, and Mike truly can say that he is king of his own castle. “It makes people happy. They leave with restored faith that they can do anything.”

When he has a chance to take a break from the castle and bakery, Mike is an avid sailor and will go as far as the high seas take him. He recently crossed the Atlantic, starting in France, by way of the Azores and Bermuda, with a final stop at Annapolis.

Newman’s Bakery is an award-winning bakery nestled in the small town of Bellville, Texas. Delicious pastries from quiche to homemade eclairs are available daily. Stop by in the morning for a cup of hot fresh coffee and a scrumptious homemade pastry, or sit down and enjoy a hot lunch with soup specials daily.

Experience a bit of the old world at Newman’s Castle, a one-of-a-kind custom creation hidden just outside of town in the Bellville countryside. The castle features its own moat (watch out for gators!), massive working drawbridge, a 3000 lb. iron gate, a chapel, five 24 ft. tall corner turrets, a courtyard, and a central tower with a dramatic view of the surrounding lands. An 18 ft. wall encompasses the castle, ensuring you are safe from oncoming marauders during your visit.

Newman’s Castle is available for tours and special events by reservation only. The castle hosts weddings, mystery dinners, wine tastings, birthday parties, and other special occasions. Call the bakery today at 979-865-9804 to check availability and reserve your date. Or email us here.
