A beautiful Tudor-style mansion … we felt like we were in Europe! It was the main building of the opulent summer residence for the Guggenheim family.
Part of the Sands Point Reserve, Hempstead House is the embodiment of Gold Coast opulence. It is one of four mansions on the grounds of the Guggenheim Estate, which also includes Castle Gould, Falaise and Mille Fleur. The Tudor-style castle served as a summer residence for the family where they hosted grand parties, performances and exhibitions by world-class artists, and gatherings of the powerful elite of the time.
Today, Hempstead House is available for private events, standing ready for entertaining with its magnificent architecture, landscaped gardens and exquisite views overlooking the Long Island Sound. The mansion is often selected for film and television productions – a vital source of revenue for the Conservancy. It has been the setting for many feature films, including Scent of a Woman, Malcolm X, Great Expectations and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and recently for the small screen, The Blacklist, Gotham, Billions, The Politician, Dare Devil, The Americans, Boardwalk Empire, Royal Pains and Masters of Sex.
