HEARST CASTLE NOW OPEN FOR TOURS.

Advanced reservations are recommended. Face coverings are not currently required but strongly recommended.

California State Parks is protecting, preserving, and restoring Hearst Castle and its wonders for future generations; this responsibility includes both the historic structures and the priceless art collections in the sumptuous estate.

Hearst Castle Art Collection

Expert conservators are hired on contract to treat works of art. The conservators’ professional training in art history, fine arts, and chemistry is enhanced by technical innovations. Castle staff oversee safe installation and climate control. In addition to state funds, both The Foundation at Hearst Castle and Hearst Castle Preservation Foundation help to pay for conservation of the vast art collection.

Historical Structures

From repairing and maintaining tiled terraces, original plumbing, vintage elevators, and historic wood doors, Hearst Castle’s Historic Building Restoration staff preserve the historic structures of this legendary estate for years to come, conforming to the National Park Service’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
