An 1887 stone castle on Camden's High Street Historic District overlooking Penobscot Bay, with eleven elegant guest rooms, breathtaking woodwork, and a turret.
The Norumbega is a stone castle built in 1887 by inventor and telegraph entrepreneur Joseph Barker Stearns as his dream house, perched above Penobscot Bay in Camden's High Street Historic District. Converted to an inn in 1985 and thoroughly renovated after a 2022 sale, the landmark property pairs its dramatic stone exterior, turret, and breathtaking interior woodwork with eleven individually styled guest rooms, each featuring a king bed, en-suite bath, gracious seating, and large windows framing the bay or grounds. A short walk from downtown Camden and its harbor, the Norumbega offers a rare chance to stay in one of the Midcoast's most distinctive historic buildings.
