The Castle was built in 1831, around the old house of Newe which was built in 1694, Castle Newe was a beautiful building with a hint of Indian architecture. The house was built for the Forbes family and was full of treasures especially from the Indian Continent. Unfortunately, the house was demolished in 1926 and the contents sold off and distributed to the family.
