Winchester Mystery House Historic 160-room Victorian mansion built by Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester Repeating Arms fortune. Located in San Jose, CA.

Daily Tours • Weddings & Special Events Available For over 100 years the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, has stood as a testament to the ingenuity, singular vision and lore that surrounds its namesake, Sarah Pardee Winchester, heiress to the Winchester Repeating Arms fortune. Originally known as Llanada Villa, today it stands as an architectural wonder, a time capsule of a bygone

era and one of America’s most celebrated - and mysterious - historic mansions. Sarah Winchester was a true woman of independence, drive, and courage who lives on in legend. Whether driven by grief, guilt, or something more unknowable, she continuously built onto her home without a master plan, creating a sprawling labyrinth. She left behind a house shrouded in mystery—one that continues to capture the imagination of all who enter. Renowned for its architectural curiosities, groundbreaking innovations (many ahead of their time), and long-standing reputation for paranormal activity, the Winchester Mystery House continues to intrigue and inspire all who walk its halls.
