A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY
Toward the end of WWI, war hero Bill Blecha was so fascinated by a castle he saw in Europe, he vowed to build himself a similar one in his hometown of Oklahoma City. When Blecha returned home from war, he became a manager at Manhattan Construction Company. His duties included demolition and disposal, which gave him free access to historically significant architectural pieces – pieces that would later prove to be the mainstay of the Blecha castle.
More than two decades passed when Blecha discovered the same European castle featured in an architectural catalog in 1945. So with renewed inspiration and a storehouse of unusual salvaged pieces he acquired from demolition sites including the Colcord, the original downtown OKC Downtown Airpark and Oklahoma County Courthouse; he and his wife worked side-by-side to build Blecha’s Dream Castle. The castle is nestled into the side of a hill with three levels framed by 24″ thick walls poured from 55 truckloads of Dolese Concrete. Seventy years later, Dolese would provide the concrete for the Devon Tower and Devon now owns the historic Colcord Hotel. The Blecha’s labor of love took nearly five years to complete, and the couple called it home for nearly 50 years. This castle is a testament to a realized dream, and Bill Blecha enjoyed his dream castle until his death in 1989 at the age of 96. His daughter and son-in-law continued to live on the grounds until 1994 in a cottage constructed by Blecha in 1972.
Hilda Vormann purchased the property from the Blecha family in 1994 transforming The Cellar into the German Restaurant – “Keller in the Kastle.” Offering the property for sale in 2004, current owner Amy Rollins’ long time friend Lou Ann Forman noticed the property was on the market and contacted Amy because she knew of Amy’s previous interest in the property.
Within months, third owners, Amy and Ralph Rollins purchased the property in 2004. A series of improvements and restoration projects began to create an ideal setting for weddings and events. The restaurant reopened in 2005 and the construction of The Grande Hall was completed in 2007.
In February 2009, Castle Falls presented two new dining options: The Cellar at Castle Falls and The Primrose at Castle Falls.
The Cellar offers European cuisine in an old-world, picturesque and informal setting. Seating for The Cellar is on the first level of the Castle and weather permitting outdoor seating in the garden area with seating limited to guests six years of age or older. The Primrose on the second level of the castle features a five-course menu. For a romantic evening, semi-private dining is available in the Primrose Library, and seating on the Primrose is limited to guests 13 years of age or older. Stair navigation is needed.
Ten years later in January 2019, Castle Falls added four unique private dining options on the third floor Master Level: The Master Closet a quirky, bit bohemian fun dining experience for up to 4 guests; The Master Suite featuring 1930’s storefronts from OKC’s past seats up to 16; The Guest Room seats up to 4; and The Turret Room overing looking the castle’s grounds and seats up to 10 guests. Future grooms often reserve the entire Master Level to propose to their future bride!
Castle Falls is now celebrating its 17th year in business and continues to evolve while maintaining its historical integrity, intimate atmosphere and old-world charm.
