A buildup of destructive carbon dioxide prompted authorities to close the complex in 1963 to avoid further damage. Restoration efforts soon began followed by strict monitoring. </span><span style="font-size: large;">In 1983 a replica was built nearby, Lascaux II.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Older than the pyramids of Egypt by 7000 years and Stonehenge by 6000 years, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey rewrote history. Built 11,500 years ago at the end of the last ice age Gobekli Tepe even predates predate villages, pottery, domesticated animals, and agriculture. <span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">William Randolph Hearst began construction in 1919 and continued through 1947. Very popular during Hollywood's golden era the castle held many gatherings. <a href="http://www.charliechaplin.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Charlie Chaplin</i></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_Brothers" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>The Marx Brothers</i></a>, <a href="http://www.clarkgable.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Clark Gable</i></a> and many more including <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/franklindroosevelt" target="_blank"><i>Franklin D<span style="font-size: large;">. </span>Roosevelt</i></a> and <a href="http://www.winstonchurchill.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Winston Churchill</i></a> visited. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The castle was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and became a United States National Historic Site in 1976. The main estate is now a very popular tourist location. However the Hearst family still maintain a private residence in an old Victorian home on the property. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearst_castle" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>source wikipedia</i></a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For example the house has doors and stairs leading nowhere</span>.
